I woke up
with a bible verse resonating through my being,
“ My grace is
sufficient for thee: For my
strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9. I had always been very familiar with that verse, but never had it had
so much meaning to me. Total dependence, that was what God wanted from
me. I would give it to Him and watch as miracle upon
miracle overtook me. The arm of man will fail. God cannot, because it is not in
His nature to fail. When I am weak, He is strong, and His strength is made
perfect when I am completely leaning on Him, completely trusting in Him. I read the rest of that verse and it went,
“Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me.”
I spent some time meditating on these words and
resolving to make them a part of my life henceforth.
I discovered that my “quiet times” with God were
quite different from what I had been used to before the plane crash. God had
always been a very significant part of my life, way before I got born again in
1998, and fellowship with Him, whether in church, with family, or alone, had
always brought me joy and peace. But there was something different now. It was
as if God was sitting beside me as I prayed or read the bible. Things became
clearer to understand.
I felt more peaceful and fulfilled after meditating on
His Word. I felt much closer to Him. And the best thing was, I could not wait
to be in His presence...
To be continued...
