2 Corinthians 12:10
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. Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians
I think the most important lesson I've learned in my relationship with Jesus is to recognize my weaknesses and not try to overcome them on my own. I'm the kind of person that likes to achieve success in whatever I'm trying to do. Of course there are failures along the way and over the years, it's in the midst of the downfall of the failure that I have learned to let God be strong for me.
While growing up there were times that I couldn't lift a box, or carry something that was just too heavy for me, or get tired and not be able to continue walking. My dad would be there to help. Many times he just did the whole thing, sometimes he helped me carry the load, or pick me up and carry me. I never felt like a burden in my father's arms. It's the same way in my relationship with God. When I'm in a situation that I can't seem to get through, I allow myself to seek help from my heavenly father.
I don't look to God only for those times when life seems too much for me. My goal is to be in constant contact with God all day. By allowing God to lift me up from my low points I am made stronger in my faith.
The right way to quit is to let go and let God.
It takes courage to confess weakness.
Just Be Held
