Do you look at your weakness as a failure? God sees your weaknesses as your opportunity to be strong, not a strength in your own self, but in Him. We are here for Him. We exist because of God, he wants us to always look to him for our identity, we are made in the 'image' of God, and in order to have confidence, joy, fullness and to be complete in yourself, takes a dependency on our creator. Examine yourself, do you find yourself waiting and anticipating approval from others when you do something? Is it a lot of your focus? If so, you may be looking to 'man' and not 'God' for your strength and identity. Be encouraged today, you are complete in Christ alone, you are worthy of forgiveness, joy, love, peace, and yet sometimes our own "selves" get in the way of these things. Don't allow yourself to be your own and worst hindrance!
Verses to relate to this today:
2 Cor. 12:9 Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
Romans 15:1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.
