Greater

Whenever I think back to last summer and serving as a barney one thing that stuck out to me the most was that I was really able to experience what it is like to truly on God's strength and not my own. There were so many mornings when I woke up thinking "how the heck am I going to make it through today when I'm barely awake enough to finish my quiet time right now?" But I did make it, and I somehow I went through each day finding so much joy and peace in being able to serve. Yes there were days that were a little harder, but I love how in all of that I saw how much I really need God, everyday all the time. There is no way I would of been able to do it without the power of Christ. It's interesting to see how when we place ourselves in a servant's position, putting others before us, in some of our weakest moments, we can really experience God's strength because I know often in those moments I really had no strength left, yet I don't think I ever ended a day thinking I can't go on. If in the name of Jesus there is enough power to conquer over death, then why would I want to rely on my own strength?
