I Need More Strength Lord (or better drugs)!

My memory verse that I’ve chosen for therapy is “…he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world” 1 John 4:4. I chose that today in the midst of therapy when I thought this sweet young lady, who probably doesn’t weigh 100 pounds, was going to rip my shoulder apart and beat me with my arm! I don’t want you to think she is mean, I am sure she is just doing her job, but once when she asked me if it hurt yet…and trying to control my anxiety, I said, “Kind of.” I was sure a satanic giggle came from her mouth! Seriously, I am finding out that surgery was the easy part…and physical therapy is the tough part. Reminds me of being a Christian…being saved is the easy part, but making (allowing) Jesus to be the Lord of my life…that is much harder. There are times when following Jesus we only want to go so far, but Jesus wants more of us. There are times when we don’t even want to have a Lord, we just want to go to heaven…in our time of course…but that is not what Christ is looking for in followers. Jesus is looking for those who are willing to surrender all because we know that whether spiritual or physical, “The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him” Exodus 15:2. Oh, btw, remember to pray for me on Wednesday afternoon as I have another appointment with the antichrist! :-)
