My Greatest Weakness

I found that the biggest problems in my life almost always can be related back to distrust in the goodness and sovereignty of God. When I compare myself to others I reject God’s unique plan for my life – I dishonor God is rejecting the special gifts and limitations that were given so graciously to me – to teach me and mold me and use me as God pleases. When I am tempted to cheat on something – to take the easy way out – I am rejecting God’s instruction to take responsibility for my own actions and to trust him when circumstances are beyond my control. When I lose patience with another person, I forget how many times God has been patient with me.

Take a look at your weakness, your failures – because they highlight not only your own lack of faith but also serve to magnify God in his perfect goodness and sovereignty. And that is something that we can embrace wholly.
