Equipping Us

People have told me they don't know how I do it. They don't know where I draw my strength from. Well, that's an easy answer. 

Jesus.

There are always going to be things in our lives that cause us to stumble, and sometimes even fall. What defines us is if we stay on the ground, or if we allow Him to give us the strength to get back up. He equips us with the tools we need to pull out of the darkness that tries to hold us back. 

Are you accepting his help?

It's very easy to think we can do it on our own. I mean, it seems like we often do accomplish things ourselves because He is gracious enough not to rub it in our faces how often He rescues us. Even though He is not right there in our faces about things does not mean He is not there.

I am.

I have chosen to accept Him with all that I am. I know that I cannot do anything, let alone conquer the demons of grief, without Him. With this total submission He has equipped me with the strength, the courage, the grace, the love, and the peace that I need to heal.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

-Philippians 4:13
