The most blessed time in my life is the time when I realize , I can do nothing..none of my efforts are successful. Because this is the time when our Lord begins. This time is the doorstep of a "God experience"- I am going to feel my Lord's touch.
When we are driven by our own skills and efforts,we never accept the presence of God ,we become proud and we glorify ourself. There is no surrender but the I in us works. In times we fail, in times we realize that there is something's that we cannot attain by our efforts,it is these times that we surrender to accept the lord of our life. A personal encounter with our loving lord is the most blessed moment and achievement in our life..this is what grows us to the eternal life and to the everlasting aim of us as children of God.
Always in such times let us remember our Jesus words... "but now I am going to him who sent me.None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things."- john16:5-6
Yes let us not get worried about the trials or traps or sadness or luxuries around us in the world..but in such times let us seek..."where did Jesus go and how?"
This answer gives us answer to our life too..our situations too..
That is what St. Paul says " Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
Yes God's grace is sufficient for us...not by our efforts but by His grace, loving grace that we are saved...
Hence if we are now in a totally shattered situation..then be ready ...to experience God's love..which surpasses all our knowledge...his amazing Grace..
33 I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world - John 16:33
Amen in Jesus name
