2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV
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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Our sermon yesterday was about being all we could be {in & for Christ} where life {God} currently has us. You might be; a student in school, a stay at home mom, CEO, teacher, biologist, poor, wealthy, middle class... it doesn't matter to God.
We are all sinners in need of a Savior.
What matters to God is how we live each day of the life He has given us. Do we give our everything in every task? Or do we lust at 'the other side of the fence'?
I know I need to work on giving my everything. There are areas in my life where, daily, I fail miserably. My human nature most certainly does not want to boast about my short comings.
But God does.
It is when I allow others to see my imperfections, God shines through. His power becomes greater than anything I could ever imagine.
The big picture isn't how many kids I have, how organized my house is, how many 'toys' I've acquired, or successful I am. It's how many lives I've allowed God to touch through my life, where He has me, today.

So true! My husband and I feel like we're continually learning this same lesson over and again. Thanks for the reminder that God's got it all under control and will work it out to perfection!
