Wimps apply here.... what!...?

And then he told a wee story
about being lowered by a basket
from a window in the wall
to escape from the Governor of Damascus... ref 2Cor 11:30-33

hiding
running
carried out by someone else...

Not exactly 'Manly'
or walking in 'God's authority' as a
Child of the King!..... tongue emoticon

Hmm....

So what I was wondering was...
what are the things that I am weak in
that I would boast about..?

and why....?
Hmm...

... Paul asked for a weakness,
a 'thorn' to be taken away
2Cor 12:9 But he (Jesus) said to me (Paul),
"My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Therefore
I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,
so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ’s sake,
I delight in weaknesses,
in insults,
in hardships,
in persecutions,
in difficulties.
For when I am weak,
then I am strong.

Delight in weaknesses....

Hmm

Not exactly what the world teaches me...
- look strong
- don't be vulnerable
- fake it till you make it....

Growing up with asthma
I hated it
I hated the wheezy sound of struggling for breath
for stopping to catch my breath
on each step up the stairs
for not being able to
participate in many things....

Boast in that? frown emoticon
really? tongue emoticon

Lord,
I have a long way to go
to get to that point...
So confident in You
that weakness is
opportunity
to let You work more
in and through me...

I want to
Hide
those things
and only show my 'strong side'

Today I will listen to You
and choose to see
those things
differently...

...even boast?

Ok.
