Weakness is not popular in a pride-driven world. Yet as a believer of Jesus Christ, weakness is an opportunity for God to pour more of Himself into His Children.
Sometimes the only way to know what’s in our heart is for God to squeeze it by circumstances…He already knows, it’s we who need to be made aware. He doesn’t reveal our heart to condemn us but to give us the opportunity to humbly ask for His help…to recognize our dependence upon Him.
Suffering is not a punishment but empowerment. It allows us to clearly see insufficiencies in our faith and quickly allow God to fill those areas with His Power
Don’t attempt to sugar coat your struggles. Be real with people. Be honest about what you’ve gone through…There are hurting people everywhere aching to be understood, to know there is hope in the hopeless looking struggle they face. Use your story to point them to Christ. He is the answer. Not you. Not me. Christ and Christ alone. He said ; “If I be lifted I will draw all men unto me.” Exalt Him through your testimony.
The word “struggle” means to contend with an adversary. It is to cope with inability to perform well. To make one’s way with violent effort. This word could be applied to various situations. However, as Children of God we do live in the natural realm but are merely visiting or passing through on our way to Eternity. Therefore, we must apply these terms and conditions to the Kingdom of God. The challenges of today are paving the road to Destiny for tomorrow. They are momentary. However, in each trial overcome by the steadfast heart of a believer through faith and trust in God, there is victory. The struggles in life are not about you, but rather a Kingdom force pushing its way through to your life. When you choose to grab hold of the Lord and make Him the anchor for your hope – you will not be moved. Struggle is not about defeat but overwhelming victory. It is God’s Power and Strength being manifested in your life.
