I feel the need to ministry to you today: God strength is made perfect in your weakness. Hold on My sister, hold on my brother. This one is for you. When I’m weak, then I’m strong. When I’m weak, then I’m strong. Some many days I had to struggle to put one foot in front of the other with the wind in your face. It’s the struggle in life that strengthen you to make you strong, but I learn there are some things in life God will not fix until you go through the crucible suffering. See it shattered me when I lost my job, didn’t know how I was going to make the ends look at each other. But, I found a better Job. Just when I thought things were going in the right direction, my spouse walked out on me after being married for 18 years, he left me for a pretty young thang. It ripped my heart out. I thought about all the years I gave him my best self and he leaves me. He told the judge, that we were irreconcilable. Really? To me irreconcilable is a convenient way for you to do what you want to do. This broke me, broke my heart. But, I got on my knees and I ask the Lord for strength because I felt like I was losing my mind. I told him God, I’m your servant, I’ve taught your word in Sunday school, I have served in ministry, I’ve told your story, why are you taking everything away me. I told God, how am I suppose to serve you in this condition, in this mental state I’m in. Then the word came to me. Lest I should be exalted above measure. Hear what I’m saying to you, see I forgot about the abundance of things God had already done for me, the things that I thought I was doing on my own. I picked my Husband, I got my degree, and I’m driving the convertible Benz wearing Gucci and gold. Me, I did it. That’s what I thought. God showed me I’m nothing without him. See I got caught up in myself. I took the glory, it didn’t belong to me. God had to break me, he had to humble me, he had to mold me, he had to shape me, because that was the only way he was going to get me to totally depend upon him. In the midst of everything I was going through I felt yet so alone, so I called up my support group. When I called my friend she wasn’t there. When I called my mother, she wasn’t there, I called my father, and he wasn’t there. But oh when I called on Jesus in my midnight hour he was there. I realize God strength can only be made perfect in my weakness. I realize in my brokenness, God had to humble. When, I think about all I went through and still going through. I think about Paul. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 1 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. AMEN!
