As a teen and into my twenties and early thirties, I was completely aware of how perfect Christians thought they were. Often hearing it through their condemning of others around them. Obviously that condemnation was spoken to other Christians about someone else. Yet I never heard about their failures. About their reality. As a non believer at the time, I found myself seeing it as joke, insult, and something I wanted nothing to do with. Then there came a night, as men shared their failures, struggles, and how they were working on them, through God's strength. Wow!! I needed that!! Within hours, I made the most important decision, that I am never going to be perfect, but could have a relationship with the Perfecter. I once heard a pastor say, "Share your strengths and you build walls, Share your weaknesses and you build bridges." It's not our "perfect talk" that gives us freedom, it is His Grace!!
Here is your stone!! "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
Let His power rest on you and build bridges today!!! Thank You Jesus!!!!!
