2 Corinthians 12: 9 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. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
How Low? How much Grace?
I drove in tears this morning from the way I reacted to the stresses that met me first thing.... just after my first cup of coffee.
I'm learning something I never really.. intimately knew before. I'm not talking about my salvation experience... but just the fact that even here.. in this 'place' His love is Deep, Strong, and Steady. He covers me. It's scary to me. Why? I don't know.. I guess I have never had anyone stick around at my very worst... and remain calm, quiet, patient... and who is willing to wait until the time is right to give me help and counsel.
My question today to God was .."When does the Love run out? How DEEEEEEEP does it go? How Long, wide, and deep is Your Grace?
I'm not trying to push the envelope here, LORD.. but I 'm stuck, I don't know what to do and the one thing I 'think' I'm supposed to do, I don't want to do. So.. when you do say.. enough?!"
As I was driving home facing the canyon... purple, red, yellow and white.. the sun gleaming off of them.. I heard.. "My Grace IS sufficient for you, My strength is made perfect in weakness. I COVER You." I was stunned...silenced.. frozen like a bird on a branch. I don't understand where the limits or lines are drawn.. I know I have MADE them in my own life. There have come days here and there in the lives of a few when I said.."ok.. That's enough."
I just cannot seem to give what He gives...Love how He loves as yet. Please LORD remove what is in the way.
