Iβve heard the saying that βGod gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.β But when I see the disciples that Jesus chose and suffered for His name sake, I donβt see Him choosing the βtoughest soldiersβ, as I learn about men and women in the past and even today who have laid down their lives for Jesus, once again I donβt see God choosing His βtoughest soldiers.β But I see a strong and mighty God choosing weak men and woman, and empowering them by His Holy Spirit to face some of the toughest battles and be used for His glory.
I once thought I was a βtough soldierβ until I met Jesus, I then realized that Iβm so weak without Him, and apart from Jesus I canβt do anything. I need Jesus daily. The only way that I can truly become who God wants me to be and truly do what God wants me to do, is not by my power not by my might, but only by The Spirit of The Living God. Thank you Jesus.
