Weak + Foolish = Amazing

I was thinking today about the miracle that is my life.

"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong" --that's 1 Corinthians 1:27, NASB.

When I look at where I've come from, and all my flaws, I just know the angels must be watching and shaking their heads. "How did such a weak and foolish one ever find such joy and peace?" It's not my background, credentials or achievements that fill me with this deep sense of rightness and acceptance for my life. It is the unconditional love of the Eternal One. I accept that love and let it move beyond me, to all my fellow weak and foolish ones.
