God's Strength Made Perfect!
"He gives power to the weak,
and to those who have no
might He increases strength."
Isaiah 40: 29
Christiana Tsai (1890-1984) was converted to Christ in missionary
school in China. Her family was furious, yet over time Christiana
managed to win 55 of her loved ones to Christ. In 1930, she was
stricken with malaria, which left her debilitated.
She became sensitive to light and noise, and she remained
confined to a dark room from 1931 until her death in 1984.
But her ministry grew despite her weakness, with many
people visiting her bedside and finding Christ.
“From her bed as a pulpit, she led countless people to
accept Christ. Drawn by the Holy Spirit, people traveled
from many parts of the world to visit her.
She seldom
refused to see anyone no matter how unwell
she felt.”
All of us long for good health, and we worry about sickness,
illness, injury, and disease. While our concern is normal and
natural, we need to remember how mightily God can use us
regardless of how we feel from day to day.
We can be spiritually strong in Christ,
even when we are physically weak.
"Clouds may gather over our home in times of sickness
or bereavement; but the influence of a sweet Christian
character shines through the clouds with a golden
radiance, bringing a lasting blessing."
Christiana Tsai
