i have exhausted all of my own resources and emptied myself of the "me" answers. i have recognized that i am incapable of fixing me. all of the hindrances that dam up His power in my life lie dormant in me and His grace is now able to flow freely and powerfully in all of the areas of my life that i have recognized as so very weak. because i know that i am weak, i can receive His strength. His strength is perfected in my weakness! so, when i am weak, then i am strong!
and when you see me walk in glory and power, you will know that what you see is not the result of my strength but it is the result of my weakness depending upon His strength. the glory you see in me is not mine but His! because i am weak, therefore, i am strong!
oh yes! i am strong!
"i can do anything through Christ who strengthens me." (phillipians 4:13) i am strong!
i am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. (ephesians 6:10) i am strong!
the same power that raised Christ from the dead now flows freely through me! i am strong!
i am strong through the grace that God gives me in Christ Jesus! (II timothy 2:1) i am strong!
thank God that He made me weak because then it became possible that I could be made strong by depending upon Him. and, His strength is perfected as i, in my weakness, surrender to Him. then, His glory radiates in my life when i am strong in His perfect strength!
because of Jesus,
i am strong!

I love this post, Christy! It's exactly what I needed to hear today!
It all works out so perfectly when we depend on him!

I must have missed your Sunday post, but read it just now and then today's post. What a great follow up...I love it and thank you again for encouraging us.
AMEN to that my friend.
One of my favorite of Paul's writings... Christ's power made perfect via my weakness; He's such a show off! Love him so very much.

Powerful truth! When we stop "trying" He starts flowing :)

Bless you!
Thank you for stopping by my blog.Great Post!
Loved this Christy...
I used to think quitting was failure... but thank God He's begun to teach me that my weakness can become one of my greatest victories. In weakness He gets to be my strength if I will allow Him. I can now understand Paul's words, "I take glory in weakness.... for in weakness He becomes strong."
Great post, friend!
