We we come to the end of ourselves, we feel defeated, powerless, and afraid. We assume that if we’ve lost control, Jesus has as well, and we can give up even trying to fight. Jesus does his greatest work in the hardest moment. The whole gospel message is that the glowing light of resurrection emanates from the thick darkness of death. When we fix our eyes on this, we can rise from despair, give what little we have to the Lord, and watch Him do miracles with it.
