2nd Corth 12: 9b- ......for my power is made perfect in weakness.........

Have you ever thought to yourself , "God would never want to use me"? He only uses the Pastors or leaders, the most gifted, the
most beautiful, the most talented. God only responds to those who have great faith, or are super spiritual.

I am reminded of an baby elephant that is raised in a circus. When they are small they have a chain placed around their foot with the other end of the chain staked deep into the ground. As they grow, they continually try to pull themselves free with no success. As they become larger and stronger, they are convinced in their minds that they will never be able to gain their freedom, so they stop trying. I am sure we have all seen these mighty creatures in the circus tents that have a small rope around their foot as they stand there making no effort to free themselves. They have limited themselves to the length of the rope even though with one small pull, they would be free.

What is your limitation? What is you weakness? Education, background, finances, age, fear, hurts, sin, wrong thinking? Call out to Him. Submit yourself to Him and cry, " help me, break me, mold me, shape me, change me". Your weakness is God's opportunity. Pull your foot free from the enemies chain and allow the Holy Spirit to flow through your limitations. His power is made perfect in your weakness.

Very good thought. Reminds me of the scripture that tells us "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed"

One of first steps to doing God's perfect will is renewing our way of thinking (Romans12:2)and changing our paridyms.
