joy of nine9

2 Corinthians 12:9-11 

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 the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. 

When I have depleted  all my inner resources,

When I am weak physically, emotionally and mentally,

then the Spirit has a chance to work through me.

Even though I feel ineffective

Even inactive,

The Holy Spirit rises up from my deepest self

in strength and power.

When I am no longer strong enough to get in His way

When  simply BEING is all I can do

 He does is free to shine through me.

This is Presence Evangelism.

It is like lighting a candle in a dark room and simply letting the flame conquer the darkness
