And When Strength Leaves You?

I have an experiment that suddenly our strength leaves. However, there exists something extraordinary that always wins and this occurs only when we are capable of taking our eyes from ourselves. It is incredible. When we look at our brokenness we give ourselves more strength.

However, when we think that others are more important and needy than we are, and when we continue with eyes fixed on God, we repeat in ourselves the faith of Peter and then we can walk on water.

It could be that it may be simply this is what you may need to do—that is to take your eyes from yourself. However, in moments of weakness that which sustains us is outside of us.
