Your weakness

"When I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:10

You may think that your weakness unfits you for noble, strong, beautiful living — or for sweet, gentle, helpful serving. You wish you could get rid of it.

Your weakness seems a burden to you, an ugly deformity. But really, it is something which, if you give it to Christ, He can transform into a blessing, a source of power.

The friend by your side, whom you envy because he seems so much stronger than you are, does not get as much of Christ's strength as you do. You are weaker than he; but your weakness draws to you Christ's power, and makes you strong.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" Philippians 4:13
