Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I’m weak, then I am strong
2 Corinthians 12:10
I choose to thank You for my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies ( physical, emotional, relational, mental ) … for the ways I fall short of what people view as ideal…for my feelings of helplessness and inferiority, and even my pain and distresses. What a comfort it is to know that You in your infinite wisdom You have allowed these in my life so that they may contribute to your high purposes for me…many times my weaknesses cut through my pride and help me to walk humbly with You..{31 Days of Praise}
we can choose to thank Him for our weaknesses.
what weaknesses can you thank Him for today?
xo~
What a great message and reminder. To be thankful for our weaknesses. To walk humbly with HIM. Beautiful Tiffini!
Oh, wow. This must be EXACTLY what I needed to read today…this thanking HIm for my weaknesses. I so often get frustrated and grumpy when I'm weak…when I can't get a grip on things. Help me, Jesus. Thank you for showing me that I need you…desperately!
Thanks for the good words, sweet friend.

Look at the glory in this message. Wow. It humbles me when I can see past my self preservation and see God in the weakness He purposely allowed in my life. Just magnificent.
Thanking Him for needing others to help me in practical and relational ways. For needing to be apart of the vine of Christ.
Blessings,
Sometimes I find myself praying, "Lord couldn't you have made a little smarter, a little better at this or that?" But what a great reminder to thank Him for making us just as He did. (btw my daughter just came up behind my shoulder and said, "Love that picture!")
I have to admit to
straying from my normal
healthy eating while I've
been staying with my
parents….it's a weakness
when I'm at home….There
is so much WONDERFUL, fresh
food in the Pacific NW and
I have indulged in some way
every.single.day. The kids
and I will be here a month
in total, so I hate to think
of the scale when I get home.
It's a weakness that I know
He will use for some greater
purpose. Now, I just hope
I can zip up my jeans….!
