Frail

Some days I realize I need Him more than others. Some days my frailty and brittleness becomes so evident. It's startling how discouraging it is to realize that. As though I need Him in differing amounts based on how strong I'm feeling. How silly. And yet, that's how I act sometimes. Running along on my own energy. Then I'm surprised when I stumble on my own insufficiency. It's humbling. And I supposed it's only discouraging because I still think deep down inside that I should be just fine on my own. Until I'm reminded of His sufficiency. And then I realize I'm right where I should be... frail. Because in my weakness, He is made strong. When I am empty, He can fill. It's all about where my eyes are placed... on my inadequacy, or on His great adequacy.
