>From weakness to strength
+++++++++++++++++++

When you admit to yourself that you have a particular weakness, you’ve taken an important step in getting beyond it. For once you see the weakness clearly, you will come up with many ways to work on it.

When you’ve discovered a weakness, you’ve identified a pathway to strength. Working to get just a single weakness out of the way can add increased power and effectiveness to everything you do.

For every weakness that you have, there is a strength with which you can replace it. From every weakness, there is something of value to be learned.

Weakness is nothing to be ashamed of. Rather, it is something to be worked on.

What if the very same factors that now work against you could be changed into forces that propel you forward? By having the courage to face your own weaknesses, you can make that happen.

See your weaknesses for what they are. And you’ll see that they are filled with opportunity.

Mark 14:53-65

“And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together. And Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.”

“Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death; and they were not finding any. For many were giving false testimony against Him, and yet their testimony was not consistent. And some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying, “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’” And not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.”

“And the high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You make no answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?” But He kept silent, and made no answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One? And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

“And tearing his clothes, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. And some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.” Mark 14:53-65 (NAS) Forward to a friend

John 10:7-10

“Jesus therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.”
“All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.”

“I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”

“The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.” John 10:7-10 (NAS)
