PART FIVE: A NEW WALK

Day 28: Strength in the Midst of Weakness

After leaving the hospital, I felt very weak. What made my situation worse was my uncertainty about whether my weakness was temporary. I increasingly felt confused because whenever I asked the doctors what to expect after my discharge, they often looked at me with blank stares. Perhaps they were surprised that I had survived, or maybe they didn’t know how to set realistic expectations after the significant challenges my body faced in the emergency room. Regardless, I had to rely on God's word for healing, strength, and a new perspective during this season of my life.

First, I had to come to terms with my physical limitations. Although my spirit was willing, and I truly believed in God and the Bible verses on healing, I still felt weak. Interestingly, everything changed once I learned to accept these limitations. Thankfully, God provided me with supportive friends and family during this difficult time. After redirecting my focus to 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, I acknowledged my weakness and became more mindful about the limited time I had on earth and God's purpose for my life.

Moment of Reflection:

What does weakness feel like to you? Do you embrace it like Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, or are you still clinging to your own strength?
