2 Corinthians 12:9
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.
I've made alot of mistakes in my lifetime, im 25 years old, and i learn something new every day, and every day, i get a little wiser, and a little stronger... As this years ends, im thinking alot about everything... And i've learned SO many things in the past few months..
Things i never even knew... Things i THOUGHT i knew something about, but it took a tragedy in my life, to learn all of the things that i truly know now.. And the things i am going to share with you, is only a few things. I promise you i have learned SO much more.. But it would take me a lifetime to share, and it's getting late ;) So ill make it short.
One thing i have learned about this year, is my strength... But I KNOW without a doubt, without GOD i would have none.. I truly am nothing without the Lord. I couldnt face a minute of any day without God.
I am WEAK but HE makes ME STRONG.
I know for a fact, If it wasnt for my faith in God, and my love for the Lord, and knowing how to call out to him during these times, i would have never made it through a single day.. But because i have Faith in GOD and i know the POWER of GOD, i called out to him, and he heard my cry, as he always has, and he has been there for Me... He has been with me every second of every single day.. From the moment i was born, untill today, he has been by my side... Always.
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, The Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
And another thing i have learned this year, is that God will never put you through something that is too hard for you to handle.. And i think the reason of that is so that YOU WILL depend on him, and KNOW that you cannot do it without HIM..
So if your going through something, and you dont even know your own strength, maybe you dont even know if you can make it through the day, just remember, GOD would NEVER put you through something to HARM you, and he will never leave you during those times. IF YOU NEED HIM all you have to do is CRY OUT TO HIM. HE WILL SAVE YOU, he will rescue you, and keep you all the days of your life... With GOD all things are possible... And when YOU are WEAK, he will be your strength.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
And i think thats why i love the saying "THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF EVERY TUNNEL" Because no matter what your going through, know; there is always a way out, there is always a way through, and you are never alone, GOD will be there, to help you, guide you, strengthen you, but even better, he will be there holding your hand. You are never alone. The Bible say's God will never leave you nor forsake you, and it's true... The Bible also say's God isnt a man that he should lie, His promises are real, and will stand true, untill the end of time.
I would LOVE to know........... What you have learned this year (2011) What has been your greatest discovery, your greatest revelation, what have you learned this year, that will define you today, tomorrow, and in the year 2012, Feel free to let me know. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR STORIES!
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Matthew 17:20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Mark 10:52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
