| It's humbling to see yourself so
so conceited,
so selfish,
so unfit,
so ignorant
and so very weak.
Sometimes,
actually many times,
I think about what it would be like
to have a different body,
a different mind,
a different past,
different talents...
most times I wish I had a lot of "differents."
But while there are so many things I wish I could change,
I find peace
in knowing God.
It sounds so melancoly sometimes.
As I read the words they seem so "religious."
But there really are no words to express the joy that comes
from knowing God.
I can think all day of all those "differents"
And will only waste my time
because I will only find my wings
from knowing God.
*2 Corinthians 12:7-10*
7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But 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. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
