“Thomas doubted. Peter had anger issues. David committed adultery. Abraham lied. Lazarus was dead. Surely God can use you too!” Meme

I think every good accomplishment on the face of the earth is an example of divine strength being made perfect in human weakness, for all men are weak in one way or another. If God is to use people to work goodness in the world, the only ones available to Him are imperfect. Perfection has never been a criteria for God to use people. I believe He can use us to work good without us even knowing it but, I think He prefers the participation of a humble faith that trusts Him to do more than we could ever accomplish without Him.

”He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” Albert Einstein

Physical strength is one thing, but strength of soul is another. I often run out of go-juice when I work or play hard, Rest of course returns it. But it is different when we lose the strength of life. The will to live life can slowly wane away and leave us feeling defeated. God is a source of infinite strength, but how do we draw upon it. I can think of nothing better than good ole fashion worship. When we turn our heart to sing His praise, His strength will rise up within and fill us with spiritual energy. What is strength if not the motivation to live life as it should be lived.

“People say a lot of awful things in anger, It’s our choice whether or not to listen.” Mrs. Potts

Most of the time we would say that true love motivates us to listen, but sometimes love will encourage us not to listen to people especially when they say things in haste or in anger. How many times have we said things we did not really mean when we were mad? In such moments, a mature love will look past the weakness of others, and act in a manner that reflects a commitment to their highest good.  

“We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Rom.15.1 “Conversations Within” ts 5/25/2017
