One day while I was praying I felt like I was supposed to read the story of Samson. What I got from it is that although Samson was very powerful and full of purpose, he always kinda had one area of his life he had not gotten under control.
He had a weakness that ended up being the reason for him losing his hair and eventually his strength. I often wonder how Samson’s story would have been different had he gotten this one area of his life under control.
I began to feel as if God was saying that I was strong in a lot of areas. I had grown a lot and could withstand a lot of pressure.
But in this one area of my love life, I had an Achilles heel that was causing me to accept less than for myself when God wanted to give me more than.
My weakness was causing my perception to be off. It was causing me to attract the wrong people for me. The enemy was having a field day because he knew that I could not defend myself.
This is when I realized that I must give God this area and allow him to build me up until I was strong again. When you are maimed from something that broke you, it is hard to see straight and to make the right decisions.
You are looking for a balm to make your wounds feel better instead of operating from power.
What area in your life do you have an Achilles heel in?
