May. 7, 2008 - Thought for the Morning

I really appreciated the Homeschool Minute this morning.  Esp. the first comments.

  "Instead of focusing on your weaknesses as a mom, focus on His strength. He has a purpose and a plan for your family and He obviously thinks you're the World's Best Mom for your children! 

Without a doubt that is my number one cause of depression and frustration.  When my failures seem bigger than my God.  And it is so self-centered!  I try to explain that to my children quite often; putting yourself down, moping about a defeat - it's all about self.  Not because we don't love ourselves enough, but because we love ourselves too much.  We can't stand for "us" to fail.

2 Cor. 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 

If I insist on being so strong, then when would anyone ever see Christ's strength?  There are multiple opportunities in a day for God's grace and strength to shine- if I would quit agonizing about how weak I am and see that's just where He wants me.

 

With a blog called "Walking In Grace Daily"  you'd think that I would stop living on yesterday's grace.  I need today's!
