Ephesians 3:16 

16 I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

 

“When I’m weak, I am strong” that is the way to live.

Or I believe that deep and true is another matter.

Most of the things in life we do are through reactive behavior,

and weakness only comes to us when we can’t handle the latter.

 

To give to God what you don’t have is that a true perspective?

“Pick up your cross and follow Me”. Will it show us we have a load?

Is this my friend is our excuse to solve and fix things by ourselves?

The matters we endure instead of giving the Lord our remote.

 

Without strength in the spirit, I am so frail and weak.

It seems impossible by then to stand through the day I'm grilled.

Cooperation with Christ becomes second-hand at times

as fear strangles me slowly while flows of tears are spilled.
