Weak is the New Strong

"Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus' companions (believed to be Peter) reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 'Put your sword back in its place,' Jesus said to him, 'for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.'" -Matthew 26:50-52 ( Read more... )

too true. it's funny that you just wrote that bc i was just reading 2 Corinthians where Paul boasts of his weaknesses. "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. That 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." (2 Cor. 12:9-10)

thanks for reminding me of this lesson. you and i have both spoken and heard it far too many times, now. yet, many more to come, i believe. it's always such a joy to be captivated in this, though. especially when you're the type who puts a lifetime's worth of emphasis on being strong only to discover your incontestable deficiency. i'm lovin' it bro. i suppose i'll have to credit my feelings to the theologian minds of switchfoot, because falling short is such a beautiful letdown.
