Strength in Weakness

"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness." 2 Corinthians 11:30.
When I write I tend to write about my weaknesses. I speak on all of the things I've done wrong and all of the trouble I have gotten myself into. These stories I write, are about the thorns in my side. The thorns are the sins of my flesh, the things that cause me pain, but that I alone can't get rid of. I write of these things specifically to show how Christ works in me, how He delivers me from all of my problems, and to show how His love can cover all sins. I do not boast at what I am good at (which is very minimal), but those things in which I struggle with so that Christ can be seen and others will be drawn to His glory. I want all people to know Jesus and have Him as a part of their lives.
I can do nothing on my own. I can only do what Christ strengthens me to do. Do you know Christ in this way? Do you struggle with issues you just can't seem to get rid of on your own? Confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. "That if you confess with your mouth, that Jesus is LORD and Savior, and believe in your heart, that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9.
Jesus saved me and He works in me daily. "That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:10.
