Weakness

Today I started putting some scripture on post it notes and taking pictures of them to put into my daily app that I do to get my mind in a positive place every morning.

The first scripture I happened upon was 2 Corinthians 12:9.

My Grace is sufficient for you for My power is made perfect in weakness.

And I read over that a few times. 
Each time I tried to focus on different words but my mind kept coming back to the word WEAKNESS.

When you hear that word, everything about it makes me feel like its a bad word. A Negative word. 

BEING weak.

A weak foundation in a house.

Weak muscles.

a weak faith.

a weakened immune system.

ALL of those things above are not good. 



BUT



Gods power is made perfect in our weakness. Lets look at this a different way.

Gods power is made NOT PERFECT in our strength.

Then it dawned on me. 

I'm allowed to be weak!!!

That just gave me the ok I need to fail sometimes. I am always so hard on myself when I am less than perfect at what I am trying to do. It doesn't matter if its being a wife, or a mom or my business or exercise or my diet or being a good friend to someone. I always...ALWAYS feel like I fail at it because I am no perfect at it. 

That scripture just means that its ok. God's grace is sufficient (adequate)for me. His power is made perfect in my weakness!!


Let me just say THANK YOU LORD! 
Thank you for my weaknesses because it draws me closer to the One who made me. 

Be blessed everyone
