Dear Jesus, We want to be available for the display of Your Power and Glory. But we feel more like a splintery, unfinished platform than a polished, ready to use stage. We may not even be safe enough for Your performance, since some of our boards aren't nailed down properly.
NO MATTER HOW Polished You Might Become, you could never be good enough for the display of My radiant holiness. However, I have chosen you to reflect My Glory, despite your imperfections. Moreover, your weakness is the ideal stage for the exhibition of My Power. Your part in this drama is to look away from yourself and gaze at Me in My awesome splendor. Forget about your unworthiness and delight yourself in My glorious Being. Watch while I perform great things for you.
- Jesus

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
