In my last piece I touched on control but I also want to touch on strength! He has been teaching me that ministry isn't always easy but we wake up and fight because we can't live defeated! I'll be honest it's been a battle of the mind along with many other things; however to sit back would be to miss God's blessings and glory each day even on days we feel so weak! It is in this season on the mission field I learn to say " Jesus loves me this I know. I am weak but He is strong Yes Jesus loves me."
Yes, I know it is a simple child's song but sometimes hearts really need to sing it loud and proud! I know my hearts needed it because in NY I have been challenged in this way. I have found that there will be days we may feel like we don't know our place and there may be days we question God but He is oh so good! I share this because I know when I peal back the layers I don't have it all together. Also, please know when I share this I am sharing this because even the Christian who seems well put together has their layers too. I also share this because there are days we may see what Jesus sees. And to be honest that's where I 've felt some days but the honest truth I know those are lies from the pit of hell.
I still get humbled to know God wants to use me because if you and I were to be heart to heart I would tell you often I see a mess or I feel a mess of emotions some days because I wear my emotions on my sleeve. In fact many of you may or wouldn't know this because I reserve a lot. However, I know that there is no time to hide because my God has called me to be bold! And reality I am not always going to feel it but that's why I need to lean on God! For at the end of my day God is the only one who can hold my hand!
He is the one who can hold everything when I can't and so I praise Him because I so often forget that. However, I know we are called to fight! It also in this season that I am being reminded we must live with all we have everyday because life isn't always going to stop when we feel weak. We have to be able to lean on Jesus in those moments because the truth is there are so many people hurting around us as well. We have to realize what we feel is temporary but in the end we have the promise of victory if we know Jesus!
I share this also because I think we so often forget this truth! And that is why strength in Him is important! So, if your feeling a little weak friends remember were all weak. That's apart of our brokenness and that's why Jesus came! So, if you need to have a moment I invite you with me to sing "Jesus Loves me, I am weak but He is strong" Praise God ! I don't have to have it together , although there are days I would like He holds me Colossions 1:17
