In our weakness

Are you willing to die for your dreams? For your goals? For you're God?! You may not physically be without life but emotionally life as you now know it can die. It can transform into something completely different. Does that scare you? If so, that fine. We fear the unknown. We have faith but that doesn't mean we are absent of some amount of fear.
Well I've been reading my fav book ...The Purpose Driven Life and I came across this .."If you want God to bless you greatly, you must be willing to walk w/a limp the rest of your life, because God only uses weak people." For some reason that made me speechless. All I wanted to do was sit and let that marinate. It may be one of the most profound things I've ever read. You know why? Because its TRUTH. There is something so bitter sweet about the truth that hurts but it also frees us. I love it! Yes we are all weak, not matter how strong we seem we all have great weaknesses as well. The fact that being weak is ok, and even pleasing to God just let's us know that he is the one we can lean on. He is the one we can depend on, his strength is made perfect in our weakness :-) love you!
