Weakness ...
2 Corinthians 12:9
9 But He said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me.
Weakness and ?
Weakness and strength walk hand in hand.
Does one despise the other?
Weakness so often goes to any length
to hide itself or smother
Ideas exposed … as is,
cannot escape the feelings,
of guilt and inadequacy
as in purpose it is dealing
How to find a path to go
without in despair to crumble?
Well every one should know
as through life they stumble
If weakness is a part of you
was it placed there for a reason?
Could you be different in life's hue
if structured in a different season?
The bible says without restriction,
“when I'm weak … I'm strong”
Why … this living contradiction?
Do I know where I belong?
My strength is not my own I see,
for I am formed beyond me
For all that originates my plea
in weakness does enslave me
I like to be strong or do I really?
I don't think so deep inside
It so easy to live freely
for it does not take a fight
So is there really contradiction
or does weak outweighs strong by far?
The strength of weakness in affliction
helps us to get by … way above par
Standards we seem to choose ourselves
Standards which … don't mean a thing
Seems like forcing Life on a shelf,
just out of reach ... Oh! what a sin
So to give up life must be easy
Die to the world and just move on
There is no value ... I'm just teasing,
for where is life … hope may be strong
Let Jesus soothe and heal the fractures
which you inflicted with beside
He'll move you out and manufactures
a new you with "Him" inside
Holy … Holy is my Savior.
Holy … Holy is my friend.
He will change my behavior.
He is committed to the end.
