rejecting us because of our weaknesses, it opens the door for God to come alongside us and help us overcome what had previously defeated us. God’s strength can lead us beyond our weakness and enable us to grow spiritually strong. It is where we limp the most that we can experience the power of God. This is why, many hundreds of years ago, one well-known recovering sinner once wrote, “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. . . . For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor. 11:30; 12:10, NIV).
Are you willing to set out on this exciting adventure toward becoming a person who is freer, happier, and more alive? It begins when you have the courage to accept your need for change, name the weakness that constantly gets the better of you, and acknowledge that you cannot fix it in your own strength. When you take this step as fully as possible, you are ready to embark on the journey of change and spiritual growth.
