Weakness
Unfortunately, we all seem to be terrified with the freakishness of meekness that seems to rob us of uniqueness.
So to remain strong, we will cry, try and even lie.
So what does this mean? “When you are weak you are strong.”
What is this devilish double-talk?
We are much more transparent than we wish were true.
In other words, people are already suspicious that we have weakness.
- Attempts to cover it up become comical.
- Efforts to deny it make us appear to be carnival fools.
You are weak. If you know this, it becomes your strength.
Why? Because you can be in charge of letting others understand your emerging nature. But if you insist on being strong when there’s an obvious weakness, not only will it be found, but those around you will work very hard to uncover and expose it—so they, themselves, can disguise their own weakness.
So do you want to make it easier, or do you demand on it continuing to be hard?
What should I do with my weakness?
- Admit it.
- Work with it.
- Rejoice in it.
I am weak, but even though I have a weakness, it has not stopped me. By continuing through that weakness, I have done things I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to get finished, so I am grateful.
Are you weak too? Do you have a weakness?
Are you able to speak it aloud, or must it be exploited in the town square and ridiculed?
Weakness is what makes us strong if we admit it, work with it and rejoice in it.
