When we find ourself in a place of weakness,

It is the stage God uses to display His power.

Jesus in His first few phrases of Mt 5 says

we’re blessed when we’re at the end of our rope

When there’s less of us there’s more of God

as we turn to Him to control our circumstances

we’re blessed when we feel we’ve lost what is most dear to us.

Only then can we be embraced by the One most dear to us

we’re blessed when we’re content

with just You

Just You! no more, no less.

This is when we find ourselves in possession of everything that only God can give us in His enabling grace

Matthew 5:3-5 paraphrased
