I've been reading a lot lately and usually there is at least some small thing I take from everything I read- a phrase, a new word, some new knowledge...sometimes just a spark, something that sends me on a journey of thought, thinking about life.
Today I was reading a book and the heroine says something along the lines that God chose her for a purpose not because she was worthy but because she was unworthy. She was weak and he knew she needed to be pushed. Not everyone is born a hero.
And it got me thinking about strength and weakness. A good teacher will see weaknesses in a student and find strategies to build those areas up in that student. And if the student rises to the occasion, they choose to be successful, they become stronger, more knowledgeable. In the same way, anyone might need a push when they are feeling weak. At the end of the day, the choice is always ours. Do we rise to the occasion? Turn our weaknesses into strengths? Or do we choose to remain weak?
I think I have learned so much more from my weaknesses and failures than I ever have from my strengths. I seek God in my weakness and it is from this that I learn to be strong.
Just my random thoughts while sipping my coffee this morning.
