VOL 2 - God's grace is sufficient for you [Sulle PIISAB Jumala armust]
So today i woke up with my bible next to me and as i layed my eyes on it a scripture came up:
2 Corinthians 12:9
(NKJV) And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
(The Msg) And then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness.
(Eesti keeles: Aga Ta ütles mulle: "Sulle saab küllalt minu armust; sest vägi saab nõtruses täie võimuse!" Niisiis ma siis tahan meelsamini kiidelda oma nõtrustest, et Kristuse vägi asuks elama minusse.)
Yes i think it's a well-knows scripture for every christian..but i kinda saw it in a new light..as in..it complimented the last scripture i got and (i wrote ab it here in my last blog post) spoke strongly into my situation..
This line - "My grace is sufficient (enough) for you" is SO powerful and strong, isn't it?! It's like..in the last blog i wrote based on the scripture (Jer 17:7-8) if you trust God AND have your confidence in Him, then you don't worry and you have no fears about whatever situation you have..
well..this scripture goes under the same category (about trusting God in whatever situation you are in)..my story is that..
Yesterday i had a really bad day. it started bad and it was bad all through the day..until i went to bed and even then i had negative thoughts..and even tho i tried to fight them..they carried through to my dreams..but anyway then in the morning when i opened my eyes i saw this scripture..and all of yesterday's 'badness' got beaten. Like, everything that upset me yesterday and got me so sad and brought all kinds of devil's lies in my head..that scripture did 1-0 to all of it.
It's kinda like He said: "Hanna forget about all of it (that happened yesterday and all of your worries)..I mean I can beat it in a snap of a finger..you just trust ME and let Me handle it, whatever you are dealing with!" and then as it continues He says: My strength is made perfect in weakness! I mean..like WHAT? :D Is there anything more joyful to know that whatever i can't handle, He can and He WILL! and He wants to! and when you feel that ok this is it..you are done, you can't take it anymore, you can't handle it anymore..ENOUGH!!!!!!--that's when God goes like heck ye..FINALLY I can take the whole situation completely over :))
i mean you have to constantly, every day give Him the freedom to move in and through you..that's the WHOLE POINT of our existence :) but i mean it's amazing to think that when you feel that you have no control over the situation..He is IN MOVE!
Examples, where "His strength is made perfect in my weakness".
Ex 1: I talked to our family friends today and they said that their contract with their apartment owner will end this month and they have no idea where they're gonna live. This is where ...
Ex 2: I have to write my thesis and every day i have this stage in a day where i feel that im toooooo stupid to wrote it and write it VERY WELL. That's where..
Ex 3: I need supporters to continue working at the family center where i am right now. and I've been looking for ones for almost a year now and there hasn't been any real success with it. and i NEED money to live and pay my bills etc.. but it LOOKS (not that it matters, how it looks) "hopeless". That's where...
Ex 4: I think the biggest thing is our future. At least with my future. I mean i've always know ahead what my future will bring..i mean i've always had a really strong vision for my life and i know what God has in store for me .. but SO OFTEN it feels too big..so big that i think that how in the world and i ever gonna make it happen ..cos i dont wanna fail God..
Well thats the biggest thing and bigges way for me how God lets me know that Hanna..in YOUR WEAKNESS MY STRENGHT IS MADE PERFECT!!
Hope this helped you and i expressed my thoughts and what's in my heart clear enough!
Always put your hope in the Lord and remember, He hasn't given us permission to give up! Cos' He has ensured us everything to finish the run. It's US who have to take hold of it now and put it in action and give Him the freedom to move in and thorugh our lives! That's how we'll finish the run!
Be strong and always have your eyes on Him!

Ms Han.
