God’s Door Of Grace
Text: 2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Message
My father-in-law taught me a two in one lesson on humility and grace in a very simple language. He said, “Take your wrapper and tie it tightly round your waist. Everyone you see in the market are doing that to keep prying eyes from feasting and festering on their troubles.” In case you didn’t get it, he was saying, every person has a painful story to tell. Not everyone has a bandage for your wound, but life must continue. So what? Never give up.
A school bell that sounds like a disturbance at 8am,but sounds interesting at 2:pm. It is just a matter of time, so don’t envy or abuse anyone. Not everyone walking fast and past you has an appointment. Some have running stomachs! Don’t let them pooh on you.
If a rose smells better than tomatoes, It doesn’t mean the rose can make a better stew. Each has its purpose and area of influence and honour. Don’t try to look down on yourself, compare yourself to others, and determine your worth by the achievement of others. You may be weak now but it is not because you are lazy. On the contrary, you have strength, and now you are weak because you have been strong for a long time.
Look for your strengths and deal with your weaknesses. You are as strong as your area of weakness. Turn it to a strength and build on it. Remember, all animals that exist were in Noah’s ark, and a snail is one of those animals. If God could wait long enough for snails to enter Noah’s ark; His door of grace won’t close till you reach your expected position in life.
Conclusion
Broken crayons are colours and can still colour. So, keep pushing. You never can tell how close you are to your goals. May the door of God’s grace never be closed against you. Amen.
