The New Life in Christ: God’s Power in Your Weakness. (The Purpose Driven Life-RICK WARREN.)

We are weak…yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you. 2Corinthians 13:4.(NIV)

I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people. 2Corinthians 12:9a (LB)

God loves to use weak people.

Own up to your imperfections. Stop pretending to have it all together, and be honest about ourselves.

Instead of living in denial or making excuses, take the time to identify your personal weaknesses. You might make a list of them.

Two great confessions in the New Testament illustrate what we need for healthy living.

The first was Peter’s, who said to Jesus, “You are the Christ, the Amen.

Son of the living God.”

The second confession was Paul’s, who said to an idolizing crowd, “We are only human beings like you.”

If you want God to use you, you must know who God is and know who you are.

Many Christians, especially leaders, forget the second truth: We’re only humans! If it takes a crisis to get you to admit this, God won’t hesitate to allow it, because he loves you.
Amen.
