“And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that His power may dwell in, rest on, work through me.’” 2C129
I'm excited to have the opportunity (because I do look for them) to BOAST about mistakes I make, like this morning when I posted a comment left under our ENGLISH Be Encouraged videos when we have an AMAZING Spanish Ministry with the most precious Minister, Anastasia who God anointed to minister to women like Norma.
So after HLM to realize this wasn't a unique occurrence, but in fact, there are at least two Spanish brides who must have gotten lost, HLM to begin here, with my boasting after posting her concerns here:
OH and here's just ONE way He's using it for GOOD—“And we know that God causes all things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” R828—I added two languages to the menu so we can EASILY redirect brides to their language blog and also go to read these ourselves using the orange google translate!!
What do you say about that?
Do you want an opportunity to BOAST about YOUR weaknesses?
Ask Him and then simply follow His lead so He can easily lead you!!
Dear Erin, now that you talk about boasting about your weaknesses, I can sometimes be hasty especially if I don’t get something right, I would quickly ask for help, but more and more my Darling is teaching me, because just after the message He would say but ask My help, and then I quickly have to text, wait you don’t have to help me I have to ask my Darling for help. so yes I have admit one of my weaknesses is being hasty or must I call it a bit of panicking when I don’t know how to do something.
Thank you very much dear Erin for bringing this to light so that we can encourage all Spanish speaking ladies to follow the resources in their native language, as this is the most transparent and faithful way to pour out our hearts to the Lord while we write our journals and we will share our praise and comments to encourage each other.
I also have to take this opportunity to boast about my weakness of not understanding and/or lack of knowledge. But because His grace is sufficient for me He taught me through my weaknesses. SSG after reading this praise and comments, He showed me what to do and what must be done to bridge ladies to their LNG ministries and to rally around them to encourage them in their LNG or here on EncouragingWomen.
So, to help other ladies who follow behind, I submitted a praise on The Praise Report with what I have learned to help others following behind.
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and [a]mighty things, which you do not know.” (J33:3)
Thank you Erin, it is a blessing for women to be able to access encouragement in their own language and also be able to pour their hearts out more transparently.
Ultimately, I felt called to brag about my weaknesses as well; I have to confess that one of my greatest weaknesses is procrastination, I was always distracted and this has affected all areas of my life, when I do not give it to my Beloved. Thanks to my Beloved I have seen how He has guided me in many ways to be much more organized and identify my priorities.
Thank you for reminding us how important it is to boast about our mistakes and weaknesses, I not only see it as an exercise to kill our pride, but a way to recognize that apart from our Beloved we can do nothing.
