Welcome Your Weaknesses or Hold Back Your Strengths

Strength and weakness go hand-in-hand,
all along life's long length,
We have to acknowledge our weakness,
before we can embrace our strength.

If anything clutches us in the dim shame of life it's our weaknesses, which we'd prefer to keep hidden. Whether it's secrets of our family-of-origin, a hideous predilection, or just the stock-standard litany of personal limitations, it doesn't matter. We do with all our conscious power that which our unconscious minds wants dealt with.

Beyond the issue of religious or spiritual belief, God has designed within life a wisdom that's irrefutable. If anyone would deny their weakness, their strength will forever be limited and ultimately shrivel. That's how much God cares for truth. None of us can escape this rule of life.

If our weaknesses hold no fear for us, imagine how usable we are in our strengths.

If we have the gumption to admit our weaknesses, God blesses us with more of our fuller potential of strength - whether we believe in God or not, because we honour the eternality of truth.

Where we see our reality, whether it's weakness or strength or a mix of each, God makes us more capable.

Being real about our weaknesses does, however, require great humility, meaning courage, faith, and trust. Many times, weaknesses are noted by others, which tests our humility. We're all a little vulnerable to the feedback of others. And just occasionally we have a weakness - a secret weakness - exposed. This situation is not the end, but the beginning. What seems like the end in humiliation is actually the beginning, as it's only when the truth is exposed that we can be set free to live the truth and make amends.

Whatever weakness it is, it is always better acknowledged and exposed so work can begin. Once the work begins, strength grows, and with it, peace.

Embark on the journey of truth, admitting your weaknesses with bold candour, and ultimately unequivocal strength will be yours.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
