I'm so glad to introduced my guest blogger today who is none other than the love of my life, my husband. He sent me this on an email this morning. I am so blessed and I can't help but share it with you.
This is something that I understood this week, and wanted to share it with you.
For the past 27years, I have always considered myself very strong and resistant to sickness. I rarely fell sick and even if i do I would carry out my activities as usual and people would be surprised, looking at how could someone who is sick be so normal and the answer I used to give people was "I AM STRONG" and no where did i include God in there.
I suffered from Typhoid a couple of months back and even that could not be keep me down for long, i got back up in 3 days and started working, where as I have seen people with typhoid including my friends be down for over 10 days, and when people used to ask me how come you are back and the answer i gave was "I AM STRONG"
I fell sick on November 8th, yet still rode the bike for 350 Kms the next day and returned back to bangalore on 11th, and when my friends asked me how are you able to do it, the answer i gave was "I AM STRONG".
Through all this, Grace used to always remind me that you are not strong on your own, but by Gods Grace you are strong. I did accept it always but when people asked me i somehow forget that and I kept boasting that " I AM STRONG".
Today as I am writing this i have been sick for one week now with viral fever, where others would be cured in 3 days. My strength and resistivity towards sickness is of no use, I never put God first when i was cured and i believe that this sickness is to teach me that a lesson that "ONLY THROUGH GOD CAN I BE STRONG AND NOW THAT I DECREASE HE MAY INCREASE".
I am still sick, but I do believe that I will be fine through Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ for "WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG".
AMEN and please pray for me.
