Love God with all your
weakness
by Jon Walker
“‘Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
strength and with all your mind ….'” (Luke 10:27 NIV)
No doubt it sounds
strange, but in order to love God with all your strength, you have to
admit that you are weak and that your strength is limited.
By doing this, you
acknowledge God as the true source of your strength, and that in your
weakness, he is strong. You become strong as you become totally dependent
upon him, allowing his strength to work through you.
As you allow God to
show his strength, you will find yourself doing things you never thought
possible. God promises you can do all things through the Father as he
gives you his strength (Phil. 4:13). You’ll take steps of faith you
never thought possible, and you’ll love others in a way you never
imagined as God supplies you with supernatural strength and energy.
God is strong and he
wants you strong. He will change you in places where you cannot change
yourself, and he will transform the broken places of your life in order
to use them for his own glory.
God doesn’t ask you
to take steps of faith alone; he is with you in every step, filling
you with a grace-charged strength. God only asks you to take one step
of faith at a time.
So what?
· Tell God you
need his strength – and really mean it this time. Ha! When you
try to love and serve others with just your own strength, you’ll inevitably
fail. After all, there are a lot of frustrating, unlovable people out
there. (Just ask some of my friends!) And that’s OK because God wants
you to fail in your own strength so you’ll start to rely upon his
strength.
· You can’t love
God wholeheartedly – Jesus knows you won’t be able to love God
with your whole heart until you become dependent upon his strength to
do so. You simply can’t do it through your own energy or strength,
but Jesus also knows you’ll come to realize this yourself the more
you attempt to love God – and others – on your own. At that point,
you’re faced with a very clear but difficult choice: Keep on keeping
on in your own strength, wondering why this abundant life thing doesn’t
work, or take the “Nestea plunge” into the deep end of dependence
on God’s strength.
· One step of faith
at a time – Relying on God’s strength doesn’t mean he will
require you to take giant leaps of faith. He’s taking you on a lifelong
journey, and my experience is that God only asks for one step at a time.
The so-called “leaps of faith” you see some people take actually
are the culmination of a lot of little steps of faith that you may not
be aware of. The first step is to ask God to be your strength as you
take your first steps of faith. Willingness to rely on him is
a step of faith.
· Question for
meditation: How dependent on God am I each day as I walk out my
faith? Where am I moving independently of him?
