Im'ma admit it, I've been a super uncontent child lately. Yep. I've been frustrated, and kicking myself, comparing myself to other people and asking God why all my choices have to be so difficult and confusing. He hasn't been answering me. At least not until today he hasn't.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -2 Corinthians 12:9
I read this verse just a little bit ago. I can't say how many times I've read this verse and its saved me. I'm weak right now, I have no control over anything besides to do what I know is right. I can't fix anything, I can't make anything happen and that frustrates me to no end because I can be such a control freak. I can't do anything though, I'm weak, I don't have the power to but this verse reminded me that my savior can. His grace is sufficient for me. He'll be my strength, He'll carry me.
So since I have the most amazing Savior out there why am I still acting like a brat. Like what he does for me isn't enough. I think I deserve a spanking because it is and I'm sorry God that I've been acting this way.
You are my hope,joy and my love. You fill me like no one ever can. Without you I am nothing. So Im'am work on being content in every situation that is thrown my way. (Please don't throw too many bad ones.)
Thank you for placing great friends in my life that always try to help me. I really just deserve a slap in the fave but they always say the right things, the things I need to hear at the moment. I'm soo grateful for them all. And thank you Julie for sharing your story today because if i hadn't read it, I'm pretty sure I'd still be beating myself up and angry. haha
God works in such funny ways.
Amen! (Not that you need a slap in the face!) I just mean that I have been acting in the same way thinking how life isn't fair sometimes. But you are right we are complete in Christ and that's what we need to focus on! :)
ReplyDeleteAw I needed that experience this morning too because I've been feeling sorry for myself for no good reason and it was so precious to listen to a happy lady playing the guitar with the raido while I was painting right under her kitchen window :) God does work in amazing ways and I learned you can be a blessing to others just by being cheerful and having a good attitude. Even when your just sitting at home.
