Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still confined in the court of the guard, saying, “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it, the Lord is His name, ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ (Jeremiah 33:1-3).
God doesn’t stop being God just because I stop feeling strong.
He doesn’t stop being creative when I run out of ideas.
God doesn’t stop being mighty just because I have exhausted the strength to press forward.
He doesn’t stop chain-breaking just because I’m wrapped up in mine.
There in the abyss of my sorrow, weakness, bondage and blindness, He issues the Ultimate Dare:
“Call on Me!
I will show you great and mighty things, even in your weakness.
Things you have yet to discover.”
The only thing missing is my courage to see past the pain and ask boldly.
