When I am weak, then I am strong. When I tried life my way, depending on my plan, trusting in my own strength. My life was completely hopeless. I was painfully alone and ultimately defeated. In this time of despair, God asked, “Will you trust in me?” “Will you forsake your old life and follow me?” My answer was yes. In my weakness, God’s strength is made perfect. When I surrendered and admitted that I need Him I was no longer alone. I have a newfound hope, not in myself, but in God. In His grace, I have discovered a life full of joy. A life that I am excited for. A life with purpose. A life in community with His people. I have Him to thank for this life. I continue to face challenges, trials, and temptation. However, circumstances no longer define me. I depend on Christ, I depend on His strength. I am defined by Him now. He will forever sustain me. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
