That’s just perfect

Jesus said, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God? (John 11:40 NIV)

It’s always a little mind-boggling to understand how the Lord can bring anything good from our human limitations and weaknesses. That concept is so contrary to our natural way of thinking.

Man’s nature is to want to be strong, and through that strength, to push forward. But in the Bible, we learn over and over that the Lord’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, and it is not by our might or strength but by His Spirit.

So if you’ve been feeling like you can hardly keep trying, that you don’t have the strength or willpower left for whatever challenges or tasks stand before you, then that’s just perfect, because that’s right where you need to be, so that God’s Spirit can come through and His power can be made perfect!

 He doesn’t want you to stay in that state; He’s going to move you beyond that point so that His Spirit can dwell within you in all fullness. He’s promised that all things are possible for God. Jesus has told us that “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God. [1]

Whoever begins to earnestly pray becomes capable of anything, in the areas of love for his brothers and sisters, Christian proclamation, and overcoming all difficulties. - Father Francis Peyron
