.:Stength in Weakness:.

I have a lot of wonderful revelations that are given to me while running...I know random, but true. I was running a couple days ago, and my weaknesses were brought to the surface. There were so many good excuses I had to quit, and they were on the forefront of my mind. But then I was reminded of one of my life verses: 2 Cor. 12:9-10 "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. 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."

It was brought to my attention that if we never act out in our weakness, Christ can not come and be our strength. Growth is stunted. Grace is no longer needed, because we are more confident in our weakness than his ability to be our strength. If I would have quit running, I would have been acting out in my weakness, but instead, I came to the end of myself and Christ strength was made perfect. This naturally does not just apply to running, but to all of life. The moral: act out despite your weakness.
