“I can do infinitely more than I ever think I can when I follow and act in His strength.” This is so true! I didn’t believe it when I was young, but what convinced me beyond all doubt was giving birth to my children.
God has shown me this over and over again and it’s one of my favorites to learn over again as He continually pushes me beyond myself. Thanks Marlene and yes, childbirth is definitely one way to learn this! 🙂
