Do feelings of weakness ever make you wish you could become stronger?

 

Did you know that the Holy Spirit sees weakness as an opportunity to partner with you and provide the strength and power that you need to overcome that weakness? 

 

Weakness can unexpectedly overtake you if you are trying to convince yourself that you have the strength on your own to face and conquer a serious challenge. A lack of understanding about the true source of strength and power is a common problem that leads to probable failure in overcoming a challenge. Where strength and power come from is key to acquiring it for yourself. 

 

The mightiest of the great men whom God used for His purposes were actually weak and in need of empowerment. Recognizing their weakness and seeking help from God became their strength.

 

Can you trust in God’s power and strength to overcome whatever weakness may lead to a failure to overcome a challenge?

There is such freedom in letting go of a painful past!

 

Even though we may have suffered a terrible trauma, such as abuse, or other debilitating psychological or physical injury, we do not need to live as though we are a permanently scarred victim. 

 

We do not need to let what happened to us in the past dictate how we live our life each day in the present. We have a choice!

 

What we need is the determination and ability to overcome what happened to us and to look forward, with the understanding of how we can respond to the trials we have been through, in positive ways that will not only be to our benefit but will also provide help to others.

 

God allows us to go through such trials in our lives for a reason. 

 

View your past trauma as a challenge to understand God’s reason for allowing it and recognizing the positive aspects underlying God’s purpose. 

 

Remember, we are not defined by what we’ve been through, or by who we used to be. We are defined by who God says we are now.
