Many of us think, and have believed, that we are not perfect because of our weaknesses. But do you know that it is through you weaknesses that you are made perfect in God?
Take a look at this verse:
"...My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."
[ 2 Corinthians 12:9 ]
You see, your weakness is not something you have to be ashamed of. I am not telling you to be proud because of the many weaknesses you have, but if there is something you want to boast about, let it be your weakness, as mentioned in:
"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness."
[ 2 Corinthians 11:30 ]
Accepting your weakness is a way of expressing your trust in God—by believing that He can makes all things possible despite what you think you are not able to do in the most logical way. Do not be surprised if the dreams that God has planted in you seem impossible and unachievable by looking at yourself now. You will never have guessed how God will help you overcome your weaknesses and before you know it, something which was once considered as a weakness is now a strength you can use to glorify God.
Then you might wonder:
Why, God, do I have so many weaknesses?
1. You can see God at work.
2. Only unto Him are all the glory.
3. You know that it is by His grace, not your own capability.
4. You will not allow pride to pull you away from God.
5. Nothing is impossible to God.
Having said all these, you have to also take note that:
1. It does not mean that God does not use you for your strengths. He has blessed each and individual one of us with various talents. Use them for His glory!
2. You can recognize your strengths, but never to forget that they all come from God.
3. Having weaknesses does not make you a failure, because "The Lord will make you the head, not the tail." [ Deutronomy 28:13 ]
So let's all start by thanking God for who we are and the great we are going to be!
God bless! :)
