People may indeed diminish you because of your “weaknesses” – “you’re not good enough”; “you’ll never amount to anything”; “you’re finished” “you’re done”…not strong enough, not smart enough, not tall enough, not skinny enough, not handsome enough, not pretty enough, not talented enough, not…whatever.
We don’t know why people may say these things. We can’t know their hearts. Sometimes to puff themselves up, to try to make them feel better about their selves.
Some of the weaknesses they attribute to us are not real, it’s just something they image in their hearts. Some of the weaknesses are real, and we know they are.
The world may take those weaknesses and try to convince you that you are not enough.
But God says – No.
In an amazing verse in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
In that same verse, the writer then says “Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
God will not dimmish you because of your weaknesses.
Don’t think that you can’t draw close to God because of some weakness.
It may that God’s power will be manifest because of your weaknesses.
Always remember: God’s grace is sufficient for you.
God loves you. Always.
