The other week I was speaking to someone about someone we knew in the past, and they saw again recently.........apparently this person was very quiet, and couldn't look people in the eyes. My first thought was WOW, this person has potential to be a world changer in Christ...........!!

Many times people with a great call on their lives can be found living on the street, or in a corner shying away from life, because the enemy knows their potential (that's not always the case though.........)

Weakness can be an awesome blessing in the Kingdom, to drive us on and seek God! Although it is possible to be weak, and stay weak if we don't acknowledge our need of God.......!

And there comes a point when 'the weak say I am strong' (Joel 3:10), so if you're weak and following God, don't expect to stay weak forever!!!!!!!! He can perfect His strength in your weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9), and just imagine how strong we can be in Him, He's AWESOME!

And the good news for everyone reading, whether you feel weak at the moment or not.............we're ALL weak when it comes to the things of God! Nobody can work God out with their natural mind, and boast in their own knowledge. The things of God are spiritually discerned.......

1 Corinthians 2:14 "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

Conclusion, God is GOOD GOOD GOOD! :)

why are you not having enough reputation here?..hmm..
ah..yes,because you are very honest.
Its easy to quote scripture and hide behind it,but when it comes to testify there goes the bible byhearters out..
It needs a good spine to testify that through my weakness,God strengthened me a lot and that too without asking my permission,because He Loves those who Cry to Him because of afflictions.
Be open and large hearted like this timoFREEEEE..because you are free...:)
And most don't understand this because they never realized that by testifying about our lives,we bring satanic strongholds down.
When that is the case,who needs societies reputation..:D
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field."
Yes,we are Greeedy when it comes to that because whom has been forgiven so much will Love God also that much or maybe much more..

Thank you Ji and 3in1, your comments have encouraged me! I love the cycle of blessing, and sowing and reaping in the Kingdom! As God flows through me to bless you, I'm blessed along with you, and as he flows through you to bless me, you're blessed along with me..........glory to God!!!! :)

It is so true! God uses the weak to confound those who are wise and strong in their own eyes.

in many biographies of great Christians throughout the ages, I have noticed a pattern. Most all of them felt like a failure at the end of their life and yet we remember them being some of the greatest missionaries, evangelists, intercessors, and Christians that we have ever come across. I think they felt like they failed (even though they didnt) because they always realized their weakness and inability to do anything apart from Christ.

In their great humility they could never boast that they had done anything great. This is because they did not look to "their work" but Christ's work. Just like John the Baptist, they seemed to always have the thought in mind, "He must increase, but I must decrease."
