Thank you for my Weaknesses

I had a mini come to Jesus moment this afternoon.

Thank you Lord for my weaknesses. Instead of feeling sorry for myself about my weaknesses I need to thank the Lord for them. I need to pray that He will use me through those weaknesses and that they may be beneficial to His kingdom.

My weaknesses pale in comparison to the struggles Paul went through but encouragement is found 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 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.
