God's Power Perfected in Weakness

The world says, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".

But Jesus says, "My power is strongest when you are weak".

The world says, "Tough it out".

But Jesus says, "Come to me all you who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest".

The world says, "Be the master of your own destiny".

But Jesus says, "Take up your cross and follow me"
