HUMAN WEAKNESS, CONSECRATED TO ME, IS LIKE A Magnet - drawing My Power into your weakness.
Dear Jesus, This is good news! We have plenty of weaknesses to bring to You. We have suspected for some time that our weaknesses are more useful to You than our strengths. Please teach us how to consecrate all of ourselves to You.
Beloved, this is a contagious request. Consecrating yourself to Me involves abandoning yourself to My service and worship. You relinquish to Me all rights of control over your life. When you consecrate weaknesses to Me, you are inviting Me to use them as I will - for My Glory and purposes. This requires vulnerability on your part: willingness to let lowly aspects of yourself be exposed to public scrutiny. Since this goes against the grain of human nature, you may need to dedicate yourself to Me day after day.
Though consecrating yourself to Me is costly, the benefits far outweigh the cost. As you release your weaknesses to Me for My purposes, you become a treasure in My kingdom. Making yourself fully available to Me guarantees that your life will not be wasted. I will use it for My Glory! When you offer your frailty to Me for My service, I receive it as a sacred act of worship. In response, I dispatch My Power to you. My strength is fulfilled and
completed - shows itself most effective - in your weakness. Moreover, as you abandon yourself to Me, My Power pitches a tent over you and dwells with you. (2 Corinthians 12:9/Amplified Version)
- Jesus
