I don’t want it to be me.
I don’t want to be the weak one.
I don’t want to be the one who cries easily.
I don’t want to be the sensitive one.
I don’t want to be the one people know to get easily offended.
I don’t want to be the one who can’t handle it all.
I don’t want to be the one others pity.
I don’t want it to be me.
But. But, God.
God is faithful.
God makes all things new.
He makes all things beautiful in its time.
God created my sensitive heart.
God created me for a purpose.
God is clothing me with the righteousness of Christ.
God is humbling me in so many ways to make me more like Himself.
God is showing me, and dare I say others, my weaknesses to show His own strength.
God made me weak so I would lean on His strength.
God created me in His image.
God created me to worship Him.
God created me to bring glory to His name.
“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.‘ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
Speaking truth aloud to myself this morning…
I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but just wanted to say hi. I found your blog when I was a mentor for Bible in 90 Days. Several ladies in my group had listed you and your blog as how they found out about the B90Days online group. You have touched so many women through your tender heart and encouragement to stay focused on our precious Savior.
I added your blog to my reader feed then, and now it is one of my favorites. You have a gift for sharing your story and faith, even in the midst of the valley.
Even though we don’t know each other personally, you are my sister in Christ and I’m keeping you in my prayers.
and you are speaking truth to others, my sweet, sweet friend. you bless me so much. I love you and continue to lift you up to the one who created your heart.
