why do you hate admitting your weaknesses? why is there always this pride and inner pressure you feel to have everything together? why do you disguise this ugly pride as "being content" in the Lord?
sincerely,
your brain
this morning I had this epiphany about Paul's statements that our weakness is perfected in the Lord's strength, and because of our weakness, we can be strong. this has been an area where I struggle-bus through life. admitting I am weak? admitting I don't have it all together? admitting that I'm terrified of failure?! yeah right... that's for the birds. over this past year, I have seen many of my friends have sweet littles. these babes rely on their mommas and papas for everything. and this morning it hit me... that's how we are supposed to live life: like sweet little babes relying on the Lord for all things. however, all too often I am stuck in that "rebellious teenage" stage... you know, the one where I think I know better than The Almighty. **spoiler alert: I don't** praise the Lord for His patience and grace while I learn this crazy thing called reliance! praise the Lord that He is sovereign, and I can rest in Him! so here's to learning to admit my weaknesses and leaning on the Lord in all things. happy weekend!
