I have never had the gift of poetry. I have dabbled a little here and a little there, but through a bad attitude-filled week, God has brought it all to light. The times we feel low and there is nowhere else to go- He is still working and making us new. My first (attempted) poem can be found here below:
following jesus
Weakness is Great but Grace is Stronger
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
The dreams I dream about sometimes seem impossible. My pride tells me that I shouldn’t try because failing is a real possibility, and my experience reminds me that the risk is too great. Some days, dreaming seems pointless and magnifies my weaknesses in the worst way.
