Weakness Made Strong

“Our strength grows out of our weaknesses” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am an observer of people. I love to sit in large crowds at parties, the airport, restaurants, the mall, wherever... and just sit and watch people. Just watch their behaviors, their patterns, and their habits. It gets even better when engaging in conversation. You then begin to hear their scripts and their lines. After awhile you can begin to see each play in a game of society.

From our childhood we develop our belief system for our adult life. Those who are considered successful with life in finances, health, family and everything tied together learned to redevelop their mindset and their belief system. Yet their is one step further in which to take it... and that is gaining understanding that none of these materialistic things even matter. That it is just filling another carnal desire and it is a short term gratification.

We are weak because we lack understanding and we are made strong through grace. Grace is given line upon line, precept upon precept. Not all given at once, but wisdom gained over time. Yet only those who seek with a pure heart will receive grace and understanding.

The B Side To The Truth is to be able to be made strong one must recognize their weakness and ask for understanding. To learn how all the pieces to the puzzle fit together. At first the pieces to your puzzle and then you can see the big picture.
