God's Power in your weakness

God loves to use weak people.

Everyone has weaknesses. In fact, you have a bundle of flaws and imperfections: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. You may also have uncontrollable circumstances that weaken you, such as financial or relational limitations. The more important issue is what you do with these. usually we deny our weaknesses, defend them, excuse them, hide them, and resent them. This prevents God from using them the way he desires.

Admit your weaknesses. Own up to your imperfections. Stop pretending to have it all together, and be honest about yourself. Instead of living in denial or making exuses, take the time to identify your personal wekanesses. You might make a list of them.

Be content with your weaknesses. At first this doesn't make sense. We want to be freed from our weaknesses, not be content with them. But contentment is an expression of faith in the goodness of God.

Honestly share your weaknesses. Ministry begins with vulnerability. The more you let down your guard, take off your mask, and share your struggles, the more God will be able to use you in serving others.

Glory in your weaknesses. Instead of posing as self-confident and invincible, see yourself as a trophy of grace. When satan points out your weaknesses, agree with him and fill your heart with praise for Jesus.
