I cannot depend on my abilities.
It almost seems inaccurate to refer to this lesson as a Korean lesson. I did learn this lesson while in Korea. But this has been a life long lesson that I just cannot seem to get through my thick head. God has gifted me in quite a few ways. But I make the sinful mistake of attempting to rely on those abilities, thinking that I am sufficient. God allows so many things to come into my life that my abilities are clearly seen to be insufficient. When I look to the Lord for strength, I see His all-sufficiency anew.
Like college and grad school, my time in Korea was used to teach me this lesson. I did way more stuff than I wanted to. I did way more stuff than I think that a person should do. I did way more stuff than I could do. At times it was frustrating. At times it was infuriating. But when I looked to Christ for strength, He was always enough.
