{beautiful place}

I am dependent
I am powerless
I am weak
I am drowning
All of these sound scary, but they put me in a beautiful place.  A place where I couldn't go a minute without crying out to my Father or I would sink.  A beautiful place where I understand the sovereignty of Jesus.

Paul says that he knows the secret.
He has been well fed and has been starving; he has lived in abundance and has lived with nothing.  His revelation? That "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" ||Philippians 4:13||

I am learning that the powerless, broken, dependent places are actually the places where the Lord is closest. These are the times when I draw near to Him.  
I am just an ordinary person following an extraordinary God.
