In our weakness

So, I haven't blogged in a while, I've been kinda busy with life and stuff.

I find that blogging helps me deal with things

Have you ever wondered why we have certain things in our lives that we deal with? This is a question that i struggle with so much. I don't understand why certain people have to deal with certain issues...... when these people didn't ask for them, or seek them out.... they just seem to have always been apart of their lives.

Paul deals with this issue a little in 2 Corinthians 12:7-9. He describes this as a "thorn in the Flesh." I have heard these passages of scripture multiple times in my life, but just recently have I started to apply the principle.

Paul talks about his "thorn in the flesh" and he says that THREE times he has asked for deliverance from it, with our avail. However, Paul says that JESUS himself spoke to him telling Paul that it is through Paul's weakness that he is made strong... and that HIS GRACE is SUFFICIENT. Jesus was telling Paul, ok my grace is sufficient, go and sin sin sin, but he was saying, "hey Paul, I know your issue, and I am here, and nothing is too big, or too bad for me."

WOW so that tells me that even though I am dealing with issues that one day I will overcome them completely, but until that day, I keep striving towards the GOAL, and know that HIS GRACE is SUFFICIENT!

IN HIM I AM MADE STRONG

Dear God

Recently I decided I would sit down and write God a letter. This is the result of said letter:

Dear God,

I need you to come to my rescue as never before. I know I have made many mistakes, and I have many failures, but I need you to wrap your arms around me. I need you so bad. you are my all in all, my everything. I need you to consume me. I need you to engulf me in your love, your presence, and your wholeness.

You limited yourself for my faults, and sacrificed yourself through your son to redeem me. I have walked over your salvation too many times, and of this i repent. I know that you are a pure, loving, supreme being that loves me so much. You love me so much that you look past my sinful nature and reach down from your lovely throne to show your love to me.

Lord i can never repay you. I'm so unworthy of your grace, love, and mercy; yet you still offer it freely.

This is why you are God and I am merely man.

I love you so much.

Your Servant
