AIM to accept yourself despite your imperfections & weaknesses<\/b>! Lower the bar, & expect less of yourself! Decide,\u00a0I have the right to be wrong, the right to be flawed, the right to not know something\/everything or to have it all together!<\/i><\/p>\n

Recognize that perfection is wrapped up in FEAR & PRIDE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Accept that it’s in the seat of\u00a0your weakness<\/b>\u00a0that the power of God can rest. It’s in the seat of\u00a0your (mismanaged) sensitivity,\u00a0<\/b>that if yielded to God can become a place of power where God can be magnified, glorified & made known in your life!<\/p>\n

2 Cor 12:9 ‘I shall be very happy to make my WEAKNESS my special boast that the power of Christ may stay, rest, dwell over me’. (may pitch a tent upon me!).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Christ\u2019s strength moving in on my weakness. Now, I take limitations in stride, & with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size; the abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over. SO the weaker I get, the stronger I become.\u201d\u00a0Msg<\/b><\/p>\n

God promises, ‘My GRACE (God\u2019s favour, loving-kindness, mercy) is SUFFICIENT for you; it\u2019s all you need’!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018God\u2019s strength & power are made perfect (fulfilled & complete) & show themselves most effective in (your) weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses\/infirmities…\u2019 Ampl<\/b><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
