Have you ever tried to save a drowning man?
The trouble is that his fear prevents him
trusting himself to you. When that is so, there are just two ways of going
about it. Either you must knock him unconscious and then drag him to the shore,
or else you must leave him to struggle and shout until his strength gives way
before you go to his rescue. If you try to save him while he has any strength
left, he will clutch at you in his terror and drag you under and both he and
you will be lost.
God is waiting for your store of strength to be
utterly exhausted before he can deliver you. Once you have ceased to struggle,
he will do everything. God is waiting for you to despair.
My dear young friend, when we arrive at the end
of our own strength it is not defeat, but the start of tapping into God’s
boundless resources. It is when we are weak that we are strong in God. Stop
trying with your own self. Trust in God and surrender yourself to God for He
will take care of you.
