Wow, I had to post this comment from Dave.
He commented below the post: I'm Here to Loose
I totally agree that the longer we live, the more we become aware of truly how powerless we are.There's a fairy tale solution that we want to believe about ourselves, that, eventually we get the power to solve all these problems. And we can feel good about our efforts and contribution to the sorrows of fellow man.
The problem is we see ourselves as part of the solution, instead of keeping our eyes on the only One who has the solution. Jesus is the solution whether we see it or not. He has the power to do all that we want him to do, even though we don't see results the way we want.
We will never be the solution.
However, I don't think we need to find that to be depressing, but a maturing and relieving thought. We can stop working and start resting in Him.
It's the strange mystery that at that point in our journey, when we remove ourselves from the equation, THEN Jesus begins working some incredible things in and through us! It's at a point where you no longer care that you're the hands He chose, that He starts to use yours.
