In my previous entry/ies, I sometimes said I wanted to be stronger ... Well, it is true that I wanted to be a stronger Christian and a stronger person ... Smarter ... Wiser .... Maturer ...
BUT
It was a wrong way of thinking ... NOT BIBLICAL ... I was struck with the truth that God is not in the business of making me or any Christian stronger .... In fact, it is the other way around, God is in the business of making Christians DIE to the cross with Jesus so we could attain the power of the resurrection ... Paul also said that in my weaknesses I am strong .... So if we pray, God I am facing this problem so please make me stronger, that is not entirely correct ... What we should pray instead is God, I am weak and I have died 2000 years ago, but please display Your power in me so Your name might be glorified ...
This is one paradox in the bible that I am still trying to grasp these days in my daily life and one of my struggle in my saat teduh ....
