“One of the sure signs that we have not really understood the gospel is when we continue to be afraid of, discouraged by, and unwilling to accept our weakness.  Christ came precisely because we are weak!

There is no indication in Scripture that we will ever outgrow our need of his moment-by-moment supply of grace.  If we obey him for a thousand years, we will need him just as much then as we did the first day we believed!

…Our weakness will not get in the way of what the Lord wants to do in us.  Our delusions of strength will!  The power of God is for the weak!  The grace of God is for the unable!  The promises of God are for the faint!  The wisdom of God if for the foolish!

…Embrace your weakness and run with joy to the only Source of strength.”

-Paul David Tripp, War of Words
