I am thankful for my weaknesses.

I'm thankful for the strengths, which you do have in Christ many.
God is,, and shall continue to do graet things through you, for His glory, and for your good. Romans 8:28

At 8:31 PM, donsands said...: What do you think of Paul's words: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."?

We do need to have strength. "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Neh. 8:10)

I realize how weak I truly am, and yet when I'm weak, I am strong.

I suppose if I'm mature, and have strength to serve Christ, then it is because I know just how weak I am.

Good thoughts for me to consider, thanks for sharing.

At 5:45 PM, Marcian said...: Yup, XABA, you have that right. You really do have to mean it then.
