God’s Word to You today is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 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. 10 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.
I know guys who are so strong. They lift weights. They don’t let anyone push them around. They kick the you know what out of anyone who messes with their kids, wives, cars or dogs. They are very in control of their lives and are macho men who get soooo angry when something or someone doesn’t go or do things the way they know it should. They can run the country better than anyone who is trying to have a better idea what need to be on TV or movies and how your kids and mine should act and grow up. They are nothing like Paul. They are nothing like God. Frankly they are so strong and in control they don’t even know they are losers.
Me? I am one of the worst weakest men I know. My wife loves me and tells me I am a godly man. People I see in business on a regular basis like me because they tell me I am nice. Strangers don’t stay strangers if I can help it and I really do love God enough that it is near impossible for me to have a conversation with someone without saying something about God.
And I really appreciate the compliments and encouragements but I have to tell you, in my mind and in knowing God and His grace mercy and love I daily recognize how weak and far from who I should be that I am and constantly ask God to forgive me, have mercy on me, help me teach me and grow me into who I should be and the amazing thing? He constantly forgives me and fills me with His grace and mercy. And it just makes me love Him more.
And that is why I keep praying He molds me into who He desires.
He will mold you to… if you ask…
me n’ God love ya
