If I perish, I perish

"For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God...Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
We must act at all time with the assumption that He was handling the situation, only always taking care to obey instructions. He learned obedience, obedience unto death; and now as the Almighty, He does not ask us to be any weaker or any more foolish than He was prepared to be Himself; for the cross was both the weakness of God and the foolishness of Him"

I'm so glad to finally realize that If I perish, I perish. Death unto self but lives unto God. From small menial things to the task God set before us. How many times we might have forgotten not to depend on our own strength but entirely drawing from Him who gives us sufficient strength in our weakest moment.

I am deeply touched and utterly comforted, encouraged, challenged and truly blessed by your commitment and challenge. From the bottom of my humbled heart, thank you my dear sister and my dear brother for your sharing. You have lighten up my days and provided sufficient energy for me to press on. It's an answered prayer to me, no doubt it's God sent and it's pure comfort from above and that's all I need!

Ending here echoing Paul own words that has lifted me up and I prayed that it will do unto you as well; "I was in fact crushed, overwhelmed and desperate. I feared I would never live through it. I thought I would doomed to die and saw how powerless I was to help myself...but that was good, for then I put everything into the hands of God, Who alone could save me, for He can even raise the dead, and He did..."
