You are Strong in Christ

    You will never know how strong you are if you keep complaining and saying you can't do it. Look back in your life and see how much God has brought you through and you will discover that you are stronger than you think  through Christ. I remember when I was in the service and I had to float on my back using jeans as flotation tool in over 20 feet of water for just a quarter of the pool.  I kept complaining while I was doing it saying I can't do it. Then my swimming instructor told me to look up he said you swam almost across the whole pool. I did more than required to past the test. I was stronger than I thought. As a mother with a child diagnosed with autism their has been many times I have had to encourage myself because I have felt like I just could not make it. Well it's been 7 years since his diagnosis and I am still here. I can't say it's not been hard because it has been, but God's grace has been sufficient. I have learn that the more I say I can't do it the weaker I get. But when I begin to confess the word of God that I am more than I a conqueror and I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I feel empowered and ready to face another day. So I say to you today Don't believe the lies of the devil when he tells you, you can't do it or you can't take it any more. Speak life yourself, encourage yourself in The Lord with the word of God.  Speak back to the enemy saying  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. One day you will look back and see how God has brought you through in Christ.
