The weakness is synonymous with exhaustion, exhaustion, weakness, decay, fainting, so it shows a human being without strength, weak, dominated and without energy.
Sometimes, the weakness may be temporary because it may be due to a hard day of work, lack of sleep, pregnancy, menopause, among other things, so the individual is unable to lift weight, unable to perform their tasks and activities, being more vulnerable to suffer some disease.
Weakness also characterizes the character of a person, who is dominated or without decision-making power, which is why they are often manipulated or tricked. For example: "My cousin's husband has a weakness of character, since it is she who makes all the decisions in the house."
On the other hand, weakness is the love or affection that an individual feels for something or someone. For example: "My mother feels a weakness for chocolate."
Throughout the years, society has always seen women and children as weak, usually because they have smaller size or strength next to the male sex. That is why they are subject to greater legal protection and deserve more care because they are vulnerable to abuse or domestic violence.
2 Corinthians 12-7, 10 "And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me exceedingly, there was given to me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure; concerning which three times I have prayed to the Lord, to take it away from me. And he said to me: My grace is enough for you; because my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore, I will gladly glory more in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. "
We all have weaknesses, failures and limitations that cause frustration and disappointment. Who at some time has not felt weaknesses that distance them from blessings?
We must acknowledge before God and before ourselves that we have weaknesses, and that only with willingness God can act to change that.
God says "because my power is perfected in weakness" And when we want to throw in the towel because we can not anymore, there is God telling us that he loves us, and that he is powerful, that everything is possible if you can believe that he is God and that in our forces nothing can be achieved.
It is precisely in the weakness that God manifests himself with power as long as we have our desire to change, to be better, to evacuate situations that open doors so that all we want to abandon stampede into.
What causes us problems, everything that takes away peace, everything that saddens us is an instrument of God so that we can see it, so that we recognize that we can not alone and that over our weaknesses it is.
Ready to glorify with power, taking us out of the deep well that drowns us with the consequences of our decisions without having taken it into account before taking them.
Why do I have this weakness, because it always appears when I do not want to? Why that sting in my flesh ?.
Because we distance ourselves from God and there had to be pain to remember that without him we are nothing. So that we do not exalt ourselves excessively, so that there is a communion with God and you feel that you will always depend on him, that with his grace his power rests in you. therefore willingly do that of Paulo "I will glory more in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me".
GOD GIVES YOU STRENGTH
It's like a father who takes his 2 year old daughter to the baseball field, the girl takes the bat but does not have enough strength to push it and hit the ball, the father stands behind the girl and also takes that same bat and next to her she hits the ball to make a run and let her little daughter run through the field walking each base, struggling with all her weak legs to reach the goal, home and make that race.
So God will help you to make the race but will not run the race for you, you need to take breath and start the march towards the goal, overcome each base, each obstacle, and courageously reach your goals.
The strength of God is perfect in our weakness.
Do not get discouraged because you feel that you do not have the strength, God has it and that is more than enough !.
God is a true father from whom all good gifts come, and every perfect gift is what you have always longed to have, it is the source of the blessing, the one that helps you in your weakness and tells you not to be afraid.
