I am weak you're strength

The LORD is my Strength and I am weak he gives me the strength to keep on going and standing tall and fighting off the bad. Written Oct. 1 2014 wed.

Even when people

see  that I'm strong,

I feel weak you're

the strength LORD not me.

It  isn't about me

your bigger than

my problems.

You're big  and I

am small it is about you

not me.

Speak peace always

into my situations then

the storm just calms down.

you're controlling the wheel that turns

and controls my life.

You cover me in your

loveliness  your beauty

LORD arrayed in your scriptures.

I don't need jewelry

or make up to paint

beauty in     my soul, 

It is all about

you it's never been

about me LORD.

You're the strength 

and I'm weak you give

me strength. 

It's your strength

because I'm weak without

you.

I won't let anyone

mold me but you LORD,

No  I won't allow others

and the world to change me

just because they don't like me.

So remember it's

not about you.

It never will

be about us.

I am weak and

you're my strength.

Inspired by the song Small by JJ Heller



JJ Heller - Small. Audio version




Lyrics:

Cardboard cutouts on the floor
People wish that you were more like what they wanted you to be
Eventually they won't have much of you at all in their theology
The walls are closing in on you
You cannot be contained at all

I don't want to make you small
I don't want to fit you in my pocket
A cross around my throat
You are brighter than the sun
You're closer than the tiny thoughts I have of you
But I could never fathom you at all

Broken moldings all around
Broken people hit the ground
When they discover that you're not here for our benefit
You love in spite of us
You use the least of us to prove the strong aren't really strong at all.

I have the biggest smile in my face upon reading this piece .The world does not see it that way . But the more we express His goodness deepens those what He had already impressed in our hearts . Meaning it gets better remembering it . Just like that old song . " The more Ì love Him the more I serve Him the more I miss Him the more I trust Him ...the sweeter He grows ."

What a lovely piece you have penned here and they are expression of whats going on inside amidst the turmoil on the outside . Its encouraging to read pieces like this .

You're very right my friend the world has different eyes
and they focus in on their problems and they seem to get worse for them when they look at the negative and not Jesus nor look at the positive in that situation it is what I do I think of Jesus and focus on the positive than the bad goes away and he gives me the strength to do what I can't on my own.:) I am glad that you liked this piece I was crying when I wrote this one also many only see what they want not really what god can see in us they see what is there sometimes they don't notice our weaknesses but I would tell someone this very quickly I am weak and he is my strength God is who gives me the strength to stand tall and know it will be alright. thank you for reviewing and commenting I appreciate it.

Such breath taking. It's all about Jesus and not us.we might be strong with strength. Jesus will always be stronger than us. Great piece.

In our weakness he is strong so God gives us his strength
and power God has never failed to do so that Is the only way I have survived and lived
is his merciful hand upon me watching over me just others see me as strong even when I am dealing with so much the devil can be a bully but I don't show it I allow god to help me and let it go and heal and go on with my life they see Jesus the love there. your review and comments are appreciated. blessings.

You're so very welcome. I love your writing method with your spiritual poems. I feel a poem coming on, I just need to find the words to say and that comes from the one and only Jesus Christ. Thanks for your sweet comments on my page.
