Revelation of the Spirit - #60 His Strength is Perfect

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone

He'll carry us when we can't carry on

Raised in His power, the weak become strong

His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness."

2 Corinthians 12:9

How true these words ring in my heart tonight. I've found the true beauty of these words this week. I was confronted with a great struggle this week that put in me a position where I had two choices. Ultimately it came down to was I going to be Christ-like or was I absolutely going to ignore everything I've been striving toward the past 17 years of my life. And for the first time I feel like I actively made the choice of Christ. I chose Him and I chose what He wanted me to do but couldn't do on my own.

I remember thinking, "goodness, Lord how the heck am I supposed to do that". But I did, in my weakness of just simply choosing what He wanted, His strength became perfect. He truly worked through me because not only did I begin to just get by with the bare minimum of doing what a Christian would but I began to deeply act on behalf of Christ and to love where there seemed to be no room for love of any sort.

His strength is perfect and I rely wholeheartedly on His strength this hour but not to just make through, not to just live on the edge of barely getting things done. His strength takes me to the deepest level of commitment to Christ and draws me deeper in relationship with Him.

Jesus, in this hour Your grace is more than sufficient for me, Your strength is more than perfect for my needs and my weakness is no more.

God bless.
