“…My power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Cor 12:9 ESV)
How quickly we resort to self-pity when our best intentions are thwarted; our acts of charity are misunderstood or our heroic efforts go unnoticed. We want the world to be a better place and—in our arrogance—set out to rearrange it to fit our “image.” Forgetting that God is the only Power that can affect true and lasting change, we try again and again while the situation gets worse and worse.
When we acknowledge our weakness and move aside God is able to manifest His power and reveals His magnificence through us.
