What
is power in my life? Power is simply God flowing through me. No matter how weak
or how unaccomplished I might be, when I allow God to work through me, then
what I do will be powerful. I need to remember this during days when I seem to
slide back two steps after climbing one. No day is a failure when I have given
it to God. His use of my surrendered day may not be apparent, but it is real.
If I dwell in Him, and He dwells in me, then I will bear fruit. The fruit is
not mine to bear. He is the vine. I am the branch that carries the life of the
vine to the fruit. For the life of the vine to flow through me, I must
surrender all that I am to Him. If I remain in Him and desire only His will and
His work, His Spirit will not fail to flow through my life into the lives of
others........
“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”
