If I wasn’t WEAK, I wouldn’t know His STRENGTH.
If everything in my life were PERFECT, I wouldn’t know the power of PRAYER.
If I didn’t NEED HIM, I would miss out on HIS LOVE.
If I was always CONFIDENT, BOLD, and STRONG, I would never need to ASK GOD FOR HELP.
If I never knew TEARS, I would never know He’s THE ONE who can wipe them away.
If I haver had a TOUGH DAY, I would never REJOICE in the good ones.
If I never knew FATIGUE, I would never know HIS POWER.
If I always knew just what to say, I would never need HIS SPIRIT.
If I always knew what STEP to take next, I wouldn’t need the HELPER.
If I always felt at PEACE, I wouldn’t experience HIS HEALING.
If I knew exactly what to do with my life, I would miss out on HIS DIRECTION for what I was made for.
If I never ached for a DREAM to come true, I would never know that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD.
If I knew all the ANSWERS, I would never know the delight of HIS WORD.
If my ballet technique were PERFECT, I would have never known the reward of HARD WORK.
If parenting and marriage were EASY, I would have never SURRENDERED it to God.
If I weren’t a tiny bit on the emotional and introspective side, I wouldn’t NEED TIME in my Savior’s PRESENCE…and I would miss out on knowing HIS LOVE and GRACE…
You see, we all wish our weaknesses away. We get down on ourselves for our imperfections. But if we didn’t have our WEAKNESSES, we wouldn’t need HIS GRACE…
“MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
