Do you know your strengths and weaknesses? Can you admit them? Will you use them for good?

Your strengths exist to do good and glorify God. Your weaknesses are where you experience God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness. If you own your weaknesses, then you can manage them.

• Work on them.
• Grow through them.
• Share them.
• Rest with them.
• Talk to Jesus about them.

Let Holy Counselor advise you. And glorify Abba through your weaknesses. You don’t need to build a wall to hide your shortcomings. Live in the light. Humbly remind yourself, you are still in development. There is always more growth ahead. Never stop learning! Be a student for life. Learn God, self, wife, and others.

Remember every person you know is walking around with strengths and weaknesses. The difference is the ones that are self-aware are much more interesting.

Prayer

Father, glorify yourself through all of me. I am yours. May my strengths glorify you. And may my weaknesses testify to your greatness. You are the one who is transforming me. Amen.

Bible

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9 (LSB)

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. – Psalm 139:24-25 (NASB1995)
