It’s hard for me to judge Lance. Had I been in his shoes, I may have followed the same mountaintop path to vain glory that he chose. As I watched him confess before the world, the takeaway for me was the theme of our books and our ministry: It’s okay to be weak. Admitting weakness will make us strong as we lean on the Lord.
What is true for physical limits “carries” over to spiritual and emotional limits. We can only haul so many burdens before control squirts out of our hands. Nerves shatter. Tempers are lost. We stumble under the weight.
Jesus certainly shed real tears in His adult life, so why would crying as a baby be a problem?
So when it seems you're running on empty and He has given you more than you can handle, ask Him to fill you to overflowing with His Holy Spirit’s power.
