Open the windows to cool off
- and heat pours in instead!

We’ve all been there. Our best plans to fix our problems result in more problems - not less! The harder we try, the more we fail - and it all leaves us feeling worthless and tired. I guess that’s the hard lesson that we have to learn in life. Strength comes from our weakness! Why? Because only when we reach the realization that we are weak and powerless will we let God in to fix what is broken in our lives. We are the broken ones - in body, spirit, and soul. Only God can heal us, and give us the power to not only live, but live victoriously in Christ!
FLYLEAF - ‘Perfect’ (MP3 clip)
Sick of circling the same road
and sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in insteadPerfect in weakness
I’m only perfect in just Your strength aloneAll my efforts to clean me
leaves me putrid and filthy
And how can You look at me
when I can’t stand myself?I’m tired, to be honest,
I’m nobodyPerfect in weakness
I’m only perfect in just your strength alonePerfect in weakness
I’m only running in just your strength alone
From God’s word…
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
