Well, it's like this-- for so many of us, and especially those in the Church--we have found it necessary to hide our weakness as though it was something to be ashamed of-- or that weakness in itself was sinful. I'm not talking about acting or weakness or temptation, but the very fact that it exists can make some run from, rather than to Jesus.
Brokenness
Most of us are a combination of incalcuable contradictions.
Yet still we are somehow mysteriously integrated into the grace of divine inheritance. By the transforming power of love we are brought into the fullness of who we are. Even though often filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory, and while finding serenity in thisquite real, we are at other times grasped by passions and temptations, beyond our understanding and ability to control in our own strength.
We struggle for the divine reality of the Presence of Jesus at times and in our struggling for the divine breath of God we are frazzled, fearful, and feel all alone.
That must change.
That is the reason for this blog site--to explore the dimensions of weakness and how it is the doorway to God's grace, strength and even his mighty power being released in us and even through us.
