Second corinthians twelve verses nine and ten

⁹And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.  

¹⁰Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. 

Just think about this. Take a minute to think. 
Because sometimes I feel like Christianity (AND SOCIETY) today searches for, no wait, demands perfection. And strength. And having it all together tied in a big, red pretty bow! At least we can act like we have it all together. It's about us, right? No! No, no it's not. Because it's His grace, His strength and His power!  I don't have to have it all together. I don't have to know where I am going in 4 weeks-- it sure would be nice though! I don't have to be perfect, I'm only learning. I want to let others see me broken and imperfect. Let me see myself that way too. Let me learn from that. Let me grow. Let me see myself for who I am, whose I am and who I can become. For when I see my weaknesses, because I know He is in me. God is peace. He is there. 

 

And so in the midst of this whirlwind time in my life, I'm learning to come to grips with not knowing. I am confident that God will set me down where He wants me. And I don't know about you, but knowing that God loves my weaknesses, too, makes me content. And for a girl who's usually never content, there's no doubt God has a hand in this! No doubt.
