How I have missed our times together. I often try to call to you, but you have been too tired. The spirit is willing but the body is weak. Although you are weak, My strength is revealed through your weakness. I accept the little you have, because I can take your little and multiply it. Think about the multitudes I fed with the fish and loaves, or the wine I created for the wedding feast. Your little does not intimidate Me.
Come to Me in brokenness and humility, admitting your need to do the most simplest of things. You cannot do anything without My help. Why bother trying and then condemning yourself when I have told you that you must put your complete trust in Me? Without faith it is impossible to please Me, so position yourself once again like a child. For I am seeking those that will worship Me in spirit and in truth.
Matthew 26:41 New International Version (NIV)
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
John 6:8-11 Living Bible (TLB)
8-9 Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up. “There’s a youngster here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish! But what good is that with all this mob?”
10 “Tell everyone to sit down,” Jesus ordered. And all of them—the approximate count of the men only was five thousand—sat down on the grassy slopes. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks to God and passed them out to the people. Afterwards he did the same with the fish. And everyone ate until full!
John 4:23-24 The Message (MSG)
23-24 “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.”
