Clark Kent's my name

I can't find the telephone booth to change into Superman. I've watched all the hero movies and read all the Bible stories how I should be able to jump small buildings with a single leap with God. I can tackle and defeat anything with Jesus.... but you know what? I still have moments of smallness. I think its unfortunate that when we come into a relationship with Christ there is a belief path that pushes the idea that if we have God we can do anything ourselves. The scripture that states 'I can do all things' often states 'through Christ who strengthens me' but we often take the first portion without leaning on the second. We don't have to be Superman. God is the Superman. We are Clark Kent. We are fallible, insecure, inadequate... human. We don't have to have it all together. Through Christ we are made new and are strengthened. Allow yourself to be vulnerable! Allow yourself to believe that you don't have it all together. The Clark Kents and Pete
