It's such a strange thing to say, Love Weakness, and yet it's so powerful and amazing the results of doing so.
We are weak, simply because we are not perfect and so our imperfections often trip us up.
Of course, we would love to be perfect.
We can spend our lives aiming at perfection and winding up frustrated by our imperfections.
What a pity.
Our Lord says, 'Be ye perfect as your Heavenly Father...'
I believe our Lord advises us to be perfect in Love and this can be achieved even though we might find ourselves full of weakness.
When we love weakness, truly accept how weak we are, we also become aware of the value of being weak. St Paul is quoted as saying, 'In my weakness I find my strength...'
He understood what Love was all about and how we learn to love when we find our strength in God.
However limited our awareness might be, we can easily see how our very imperfections can be the means of producing Love.
If I believe I am perfect, then I don't need anybody or anything. How awful that would be.
Often when we are weak, we learn more easily to bond with others.
There are so many proofs of the benefit of loving weakness. It just takes good will to find out.
Love weakness!
