The man can remember himself as a youth burdened by the weight of guilt from the humanity he wore every second of every day. A guilt that made him feel unworthy to speak the Promise. A guilt that dragged his knuckles across a pavement of broken glass so that his hands could never be raised for purpose. Yet on this day, His Lord spoke with the fiercest tone he's ever heard. Pointing at a young woman high on crack in the very next room He said to him "go and pray for her..." to which the young man responded "I do not dare do such a thing!!" and with a finger pointed at the young man's face, his Lord spoke even louder..."PRAY FOR HER NOW!!!". This young man filled with doubt went to pray for this girl and saw the glory of his Lord manifest before his eyes.
As he walked home perplexed and puzzled, his Lord came to walk beside him and said nothing for quite some time. About halfway home, the Lord stopped him and said "Listen to me VERY clearly son: I don't need your righteousness. You have none I can use so I gave you my own. All I need is YOU..." It was then that he was finally "realized"
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Yeah...something like that ;-)
