The End of Myself

My mom recently sent me a link for a video from the We Walk With Jesus website. It was a video about a husband and wife who adopted a child and the child developed severe mental and physical disabilities and this ended up bringing them to Christ I think. And what the husband said at the end of the video really spoke to me. Here is what he said:

"God brings us to the end of ourselves - end of strength, wits - destroys our pride and self confidence in order to reveal to us His grace. Your circumstances don't define Gods love for you - the cross defines His love for you.  Your circumstances are merely used to point you towards that Love - to bring you to a point of total desperation, where you kneel at the Cross, and surrender all of your strength, for all of His grace."
