His strength is perfect

Today I received some crushing news from a friend. I was lost for words which for those of you who know me understand that is not a easy task. I am fighting to write this through my tears. Life is just not fair. My dear sweet friend Lisa is facing battles no one should face. Her little son bubs who is only a wee 4 years old is battling brain cancer. And as if that is not enough this week Lisa found out she herself is battling breast cancer. When I read her post on Facebook I said how can they go on? Some battles are to hard to great to overcome. They must feel like a mountain is on top of them? How can she have a once of strength left her in bones? As I sat in silence and prayed the gentle Holy Spirit reminded me of this song by Steven Curtis Chapman.  His strength is Perfect. It is a song that the Lord has brought to me time and time again when I just felt like I could not go on.. 
The lyrics are taken from

 2 Corinthians 12:9 
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

My favorite part of the song is these words

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect

Lisa starts her treatment Christmas eve. If you like Lisa and her Husband Matt and this son Bubs are facing a battle that seems like you have no strength to fight remember his strength is made perfect in our weakness. I know because of Jesus and his work on the cross  you can not be defeated! His grace is sufficient and by his power  you can be raised up! May the Power of Christ can rest of you! Please pray for Bubs, Please pray for Lisa and Matt. If you would like to read more about their story or can help them during in this season please check out their gofundme page by following this
