Have you ever noticed that you see the sunbeams more when they are set against dark clouds or are somehow obscured by clouds?
When there are no clouds we don’t tend to notice the light.
When it is bright and sunny you don’t stop to notice the beauty of the sunbeams.
Aren’t we a bit like that?
It is when there are clouds around us that we stop to see His Light in our life and we focus on it more.
As we face storms and troubles and get through them depending on God, that is when people notice the Light more in our life?
It is in our weakness that God shows through the cracks in our clouds. It is there where He shows himself strong and we stop to wonder at the beauty of it.
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.
Therefore I take pleasure
in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses
for Christ’s sake:
for when I am weak,
then am I strong.
~2 Corinthians 12: 9&10
