Working on it...

I was reading Carlos Whittaker's blog today and found a post from eight days ago. It was called, Will you please give it up?

"You are on the verge of giving up on your dream.
You are tired.
You are broken.
You are weak.
You are done.
Guess what?
You are finally at the place where you can achieve your dreams.
“For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong” – 2 Cor 13:9

You are sitting at the place where you can give up your feeble attempt of living the Christian life and finally let Him live this impossible life FOR YOU.
So in your weakness…may your dreams finally begin to rise."

Be encouraged ragamuffins.

Boy, does that speak to me. I'm starting to understand. Today I found these two verses posted by friends on facebook.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!"

Isn't it interesting that when God made Himself nothing He made Himself a human? I am beginning to understand. Beginning to scratch the surface of starting to grasp the generality of the concept of Me = nothing without God. Our weakness makes us strong. Our "strength" makes us weak. I'm working on it...
