Daughter of Hope: Inadequate

Daughter of Hope

...and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:5

Inadequate

I look around and see laundry piled up and toys scattered around. Inadequate.

I try to fit errands and homeschooling and naps into the same day and still try to make supper before it's bedtime. Inadequate.

I seek to satisfy all four people who want something from me at the same time. Inadequate.

I search for words of wisdom for a friend in crisis, but I haven't been drinking from the Source of wisdom. Inadequate.

I am so grateful that He is more than adequate. That He pours out His grace and mercy on my undeserving self and lets me see how inadequate I am.

How without Him I am nothing.

Alicia,
I, too, am so grateful that is He strong in my many weaknesses! Thanks for sharing.

Isn't that the truth. Some days I feel so dried up and it is only by soaking HIM up that I have anything to give in this life. Good post!

Thank you for the reminder that we need to rely on Him for our strength.
