A Cause for Rejoicing.
What appears to be weakness. What appears to be failure. What appears to be a lacking and less than what life should be. It is all really a breaking intended to bring us to our knees. It is all really a holy breaking of bread in communion with our Saviour, when it brings us to our knees. Only then.
For what appears to be a need for sympathy is really a cause for rejoicing.
Because it's in the breaking that His light shines. It's in the weakness that He becomes more. And any life that is seen, it is Christ's life! Because when you fall on your knees, Life happens!
Yes, the life that brings you to your knees, is the life that allows His Life to shine, in you. And the life that brings you to your knees is the life that will keep you on your knees, if you allow it to.
And that is worth rejoicing over!
