We pride ourselves on our strength. From the beginnings of our lives we're taught that weakness is bad and strength is good. I've recently come to realize that quite the opposite is true. In 2 Corinthians it says that "power is made perfect in weakness." Weakness is an intrinsic part of the human condition, but for some reason we just cannot accept this. True strength is in recognizing our weaknesses, accepting them as a part of who we are. True strength is admitting that we can't make it on our own. It's depending completely on and trusting totally in God's grace.
"...for when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 10
