'For when I am weak, then I am strong.’ 2 Corinthians 12:10
Aaron just sent us this message and asked us what it means to us.
To me, it just simply means that when we go through trials and difficult times, we become a stronger person.
However, my explanation sounds a little imcomplete so I went to seach online and I found this:
"When our lives are running smoothly and devoid of trials, we have a tendency to rely upon our own human strength – strength that cannot compare in any way to Christ’s almighty, divine strength.
However, when our life is beset with difficulties and storms, our strength fades away and we become weak. Yet in these times of personal weakness we can turn to Jesus and rely upon His divine strength, and through that strength, face and endure those storms. And when we are relying upon Christ’s almighty strength instead of upon our own inadequate strength, we are really strong."
It definitely relates to me.
Whenever life is going smoothly, I tend to think that Im coping well because of my own strength, not God's. '
It's only when I meet difficulties then I realise that my own strength fails.
I will then run to God and learn to let go of everything and depend on Him.
Therefore, it is only when we go through trials and tribulation then our faith can be strengthen and we will grow.
