God, the Creator of the Universe, wants to be intimately involved in your life and mine. He knows us better than we know ourselves and wants to make us strong where we are weak and needy

This is a daily email devotional by Joel and Victoria Osteen:

God's Way to Get Strong

"I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become."  -- (2 Corinthians 12:10)

"The secret to staying strong in your faith is really no secret at all. You just have to live in the strength that God provides, not your own! When you feel you are at your weakest, that is when you must exercise your faith the hardest. When you physically grow, there are growing pains, and the same is true spiritually. As you continue to stretch and work out your faith, it will get easier. God will bring you supernatural opportunities. He will open doors for you so that you can express your faith in a greater way. That's how you continue to grow. God does this sometimes to prove to His followers that it is really Him who strengthens His servants to do good work. Fight off your weakness by doing some strength conditioning in your faith!"

"God, thank You for giving me Your strength for whatever comes my way. Help me to continue stretching my faith and growing spiritually stronger. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
