When you feel weak due to your own weaknesses.

I guess I'm someone who would praise God when something good happens,
& wonder where did God go when I'm faced with problems & dilemmas.
Often than not,
I would find myself really hypocritical.
I only go back to God when i need him,
when I don't,
I'd just push Him away.
and many things which i portray myself to be,
may not be the way it really is.

& to think that nobody knows?
God knows,
& SO DOES SATAN.
You may think that you've got your weaknesses covered,
but satan would like to get the lowest possible bid on YOUR LIFE. (Auctions anyone?)
To do so,
satan would make sure that he looked you over,
UP. DOWN. LEFT. RIGHT. INSIDE-OUT.
& truth be told,
satan is so perverted that he's very interested in your weak points.
Be it tendency to lie, to doubt,
or leaning towards pride, arrogance,
or bitching about someone,
etc.
i guess it's simply the side of us which you wouldn't want jesus to question you about.
If you sense an intense struggle in your life right now,
the truth is satan would just continue to pressure you till it hurts.
Since he knows your down-side,
I'm sure that he wouldn't be reluctant to make full use of that knowledge.
........
UH-HUMPH.
But in case you had forgotten, (& before you start emo-ing)
Jesus is so much much much more stronger than satan!!!
He knows your weak points too,
& He wants those vulnerable areas to become HIS power points in Your life.

thus,
realising this, Paul was able to write,
"When I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Cor 12:10)
In spite of all your struggles & weaknesses,
the Lord Jesus did not purchase Your life for a 80% discount sale.
He paid with His own life,
& no other higher price could have been paid.

From His point of view,
you're worth so so much, even in your weaknesses.




& I hope this would be a reminder to me, & all of you too <3
