Are you weak too?

 

Robert, Jacob, and I just got back from visiting his girlfriend's family over the weekend.  What a precious family they are and what a joy to be their guests! 

I was kind of dreading coming home to an empty house, after enjoying their 9 children for a few days, then I read this.  "I have not left you on your own to get through the highs and low of this life!"  Also, "The greater your weakness, the more room for the Spirit to work!"  

So I am weak. So what?  He can still use me!!!  He can use you for good on this Earth, too, once you realize that He works best IN SPITE OF our weakness.  It sure is a mystery, isn't it?

Here's to an adventurous new week of God's power flowing through His people to love the world around us!

I Hear His Whisper...

Holy Spirit is your help.

I have not left you on your own to get through the highs and lows of this life. I built you for connection with me, and you have it. Spirit to spirit, you have access to endless grace to empower you to strength. My Spirit is alive within you, acting on your behalf. Today let the purifying presence of Holy Spirit lead, guide, and strengthen you. I am your very present help, not only working in the world outside of you but inside you as well.   The greater your weakness, the more room for my Spirit to work. I will empower you with my mercy to not only persevere through trials but to also rise up with might. The power of my love is your endless resource of strength in every circumstance. My Spirit within you not only ministers to your heart, but it also rises up within you on your behalf, offering prayers that you could not think to pray. You are covered, every part of your being, with my goodness. I am all around and within you. Let this mystery lead you to press in for more.   From I Hear His Whisper for Women written by Brian Simmons

Romans 8:26 The Passion Translation   In a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness.…The Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
