Weakness

 Today we begin worship with:

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

God does not pick people based on what He can receive from them, but rather for quite the opposite.  We are chosen for how He can demonstrate His power through our weakness. 

Growing up not only was I in the running for the worst handwriting of the class, I labored to form a cohesive a sentence.  To God’s glory, today I write. 

Do I have my shortcomings (or better said “faults”)?  Yes, absolutely.  But I know that when God wants the corresponding strength demonstrated, He will supply it.
