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

 

Is my strength in my weakness? I know that it is not in my sin.

Why then do I see my weakness in the battles I lose within.

 

Are these battles considered losses when I give into my sin

Are the desires than the negatives of heart condition deep within?

 

Is there any rhyme or reason that flesh and bones can’t comprehend

that the Spirit in due season will show up in Truth to the end.
