I am made perfect through Christ

Yesterday was a defining moment for me! I had a hard time dealing with some memories from the past. It was consuming my day to the point of just plain feeling sorry for myself and being stuck in depression. I spent much of the day in frustration and sadness. When I had finally realized I wasn't getting anywhere I took it to God. I spent some time sitting in the dark talking to him and asked why he was allowing me to go through this. I asked him what I was supposed to learn from this.
Then in a soft nudging of my heart I felt God cry with me. I felt he was telling me he was there with me when it happened when no one else but him could understand my pain. He was there with me then the way he still is now. That I had to go through that not only so that I would learn, but so that the other people involved would also learn, and grow from it. That the reason I still have thoughts of this person, is not so that I would allow myself to morn the relationship but that I would instead pray for this person. That I was allowed to share in this relationship for the purpose that I know them closer then maybe anyone else could, and I know how to pray for them. When other people would look back at this and be angry, God knew instead I would just pray.
I want my life to reflect Christ. It is such a process that at times seem to just get harder and even more complicated. Isaiah 64:6 says, "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sin sweeps us away." I know that nothing I do in this life will ever be good enough to matter, but that is where Christ steps in. He has taken all my garbage and made me new, something he sees as great, and through him I will do many mighty things!
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 "To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
