Resting in a place of humbleness…

without falling off into the pit of worthlessness. That seems to be the trick that many of us desire to obtain. Ever wonder why Christ seemed so backwards? He sought out the weak to lead the strong. He forgave the outcasts and questioned the religious. He ate and drank with the sick and walked away from the rich. He asked those who followed Him to leave everything for His sake. He saved a world that rejected Him…so why is it so hard to believe that He uses those who feel the most unlikely to anoint? Is it to show the world that any greatness they accomplish would be more accepted as a miracle then if it were through someone more predictable? Possibly. But I think the true answer lies in the person’s heart. Most of the weak know they are weak. They learn to adapt with a broken wing. But when Christ comes into their life (and complete authority is handed to Him) there is an understanding that cannot be undone. In other words, there is no question to whom they credit this inner transformation. That person’s heart is linked to His in a way that many choose not to experience. And in that place, they know that God's plan surpasses any fear to move beyond their capacity alone.
