Let go and let God

My cousin and I were talking about women and how strong they sometimes feel they have to be, when I got an impression that God was saying, "What does 'strong' mean"?  We began to talk about resistance and being a rock, undertaking too much, or not showing pain, weariness, fear, tears, or a feeling of being overwhelmed or overburdened. Then I felt God saying, "free yourself from that. It is fake strength and a terrible task master. Don't be a slave to feeling all powerful. It can be your undoing." Scripture says, " in your weakness I am made strong. " 2 Corinthians 12:9-11. It tells us that God's grace is sufficient and that when we kneel and submit and surrender to Him, we are acknowledging that we can't do it, and we need His help. We must fall on our knees and ask God for help. We have to take the "I" out of our struggles.  When we do that, we are releasing the REAL power to work. We make God strong when we kneel and acknowledge Him. "Things that are impossible with man , are possible with God." Luke 18:27.
  He is the source of strength for men and women.  He can do all things. He will do what we cannot do. Being "strong" isn't always to our benefit.  It can sometimes be physically and mentally damaging.  Let go and Let God.
