The Will to Power of Weakness

Fellow Labourers-

As I read this article the words "The will to do" jumps out at me. Some one aptly opined "If the will is to be resurrected, it must go to the cross." As human beings whose existence seems to be more attuned to the physical world, we may be tempted to agree with Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts: We are a people that seem to be trapped in our own selfish desires to be "the man".

Isn't it a reality that we want always to make ourselves to be understood instead of seeking to understand?Who among us at first assume that he is wrong? Listen to one of our opening salvos in a conversation," Mark you, don't get me wrong..." What are we intending to do when we begin our argument or our response with this remark?

You see brothers and sisters it is never easy to feel that we are losing control. A life that is surrendered to Christ is one that gives the steering wheel to Jesus. Each time I get on an aeroplane I feel very insignificant. I can't see the pilot, and I can't be sure of his state of mind. There is nothing I can do physically to affect the flight. So, then I learn to relax in the thought that the real Pilot is not only in the cockpit, but he is right beside me. With this thought my weakness (fear) subsides. So, let the weak say I am strong.

Pax Vobiscum
