Perfect Weakness

Now that’s an eye catcher! Perfect weakness. Seriously though, it will make sense and when you get it, you’ll know.

So, the question would be, what is meant by perfect weakness?

Can you reflect on a situation where you and only you handled the entire situation from start to finish without fail? Without incident? Without any outside interference or intervention? You did not have to phone a friend. You did not call on the Lord in prayer because you had it all under control. You did not have to wonder if you were going to make it through. It was you and only you. Wanted to reiterate that point. All of the pieces of the situational puzzle fit meticulously together.

Now, what if there was a sudden change in health that caused you to be stopped in your tracks? Literally out of nowhere, there’s a change beyond your control. There was no onset of changes in your health status. Several days prior you are running errands, day to day activities, working, laughing, living and being you. Then, it changes and all you can do is just wait.

II Corinthians 12;9 And he said unto me; My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength made perfect in weakness

Yet, how can anything be considered a perfect weakness? I thought if being strong wasn’t a bad thing, just showed that you can handle a particular situation without any assistance. And to you don’t want to appear weak in front of everyone.

As it seems, I was in place when I was stopped in my tracks and could not make sense as to why putting on facial cream was a difficult task. Simple tasks using my left arm was impossible. Please note, it was not heart related. To cry with every movement. To use ice and a sling just for stability. To be excited about holding a cup of coffee without spilling or for that matter, holding anything. Celebrating the small things!

I was blessed to have someone help me figure out what’s the best treatment plan and trust the process. I had to depend on others for their patience with me and advice to ensure my healing would be appropriate. In this place, there was time for a restart physically, mentally and spiritually. My husband watched over me without question. On the nights I could not sleep, I was led to read the Book of Esther and journal, this still continues. My perfect weakness provided a reset which is an answered prayer. This physically healing to a work in progress.

Don’t be scared of the weakness, welcome it and thank God.
