“Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give thee victory. Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.” #Spurgeon
Satan would have you believe that your feelings of weakness are a sign of impending failure. But weakness means you’re ready. Feeling empty? Good, now there’s room for him to fill you, because you’re no longer full of yourself.
Weak? Now he can show you the miracle of his matchless strength to preserve you. Tell your ego to step aside & let him do his work. Vulnerable? Good, now that your cankering pride is out of the way, he can prove the unbreakable steel of his ways, the immutable power of his truth.
I say again, your weakness means you’re ready. This was all part of the plan. Progression on this journey is made not by merely becoming a more independently capable mortal. We advance when we finally, FINALLY realize that nothing succeeds, or finishes, or matters, without him.
Feel the heartache, brokenness, vulnerability, but do not despair. This isn’t an end nor a failure. This is the level-up. Now, at last, you’re ready to make him your partner. You’re ready to let him heal you & lead you. Now you become unstoppable—according to his will, not yours.
