i want to make a difference.
i want to live a life of eternal significance. i want to live life with my eyes [ w i d e ] open. i want to be able to step out in faith. on a daily basis. i want to be a light. a bright light. i want to show hope. purpose. joy. love. to the people all over this earth.
see that's what i want to do...
but there's a problem.
i'm weak. naive. overly sensitive. timid. lazy. selfish. confused.
the truth is- there is nothing that i have to offer through my own abilities that will even come close to changing the world.
but here comes the beautiful part.
i serve an [awesome] God who says to me-
Emily, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
i've found in my own life that those points when i hit rock bottom. i'm frustrated. confused. helpless.
those are the times that i can see the Lord's incredible power at work in my life more than ever.
you see, it's really not about us at all. it's not about our abilities. our plans. our dreams.
when we focus on those things, we will never measure up.
but we can still walk boldly and with confidence. why?
because with the Lord by our side, in His power and His strength, we can do anything. ANYTHING. [philipians 4:13]
whoa. that's a lot to handle.
yet here i stand. humbled. uncertain. but willing.
use me, Father. take this life and make it [ beautiful ] .
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." [ephesians 3:20]
