Hello ,
"For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses,
insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:10
Yesterday I asked a very pointed question of The Open Word subscriber family...and I got
a good number of replies back. Thank-you. The question was very simple:
"Which does it take to be a real growing Christian? Does it take a weak person, or does it take a strong person?
After being a pastor for a good number of years, it would be difficult to describe how many people have come to me over the years with basically the same statement..."Pastor Mike, I wish I could be a better Christian, but I'm just not that strong."
If you have ever felt that way, you are not alone. I have felt this way more times than I care to elaborate on. I discovered however, that being a real, growing Christian has little to do with my strength, and much to do with God's. I may be weak, but when I go to my Heavenly Father and pour out my heart to Him about my weakness, He bolsters my faith again with
verses of scripture like the one that I have listed here in 2 Corinthians 12:10
When I am weak...because of my Creator, I am strong!
Have a great day and God
bless!
