The more independent you are, the farther you are walking away from Me. Only the weak are close enough to Me to lean upon My Arm, feel My warmth, hear My gentle Voice, see Me smiling on them, and feel My Love flowing through them. Only the most humble and weak have the pleasure of experiencing My Arms lifting them and carrying them through their days on Earth. The strong and independent ones miss out on so much.
2 Corinthians 2:9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. 10 That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
2 Corinthians 13:9 In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
