Being Strong

We all believe we are at our best when being strong however the truth it is our weakness that leads us to being strong.

You may ask why these words are true. If we actually believe in being strong we can be let down while knowing that we are weak than we look elsewhere for our strength.

Our weaknesses make us realize the more that we can’t rely on ourselves that we have to be dependent on others as well. Most of us think of our independence where we don’t have to depend on others but that is the farthest from the truth. The more we depend on others and not on ourselves the better we can live.

The reason we feel that we have to be independent is that so many have let us down in the past but as we mature we know the future is to be dependent in others. We don’t know the future that is ahead of us so we can’t do things like we could in the past. Our life purpose is not to live a life on our own but with others. We were created into a family and friends that we can share together. The more people we are in contact with the stronger we become. We become stronger because we can encourage one another. Despite our weaknesses we can tell each other that we will make it through the day when in times of trouble. We have gifts and talents not only for our own purpose but for others too.  The gifts and talents that I have are different than yours however you have gifts and talents that I need to rely on as well. The reason we are family and friends. Amen!
