Respect for Weakness

It occurred to me the other day that respect for Weakness is essential in all relationships.

Of course, we need to have respect for our own weaknesses and short-comings. This way we learn to respect others too.

When we face weakness, we become aware of just how fragile and vulnerable we are.

Heros are created by people who respect weakness and are not ashamed to be who they are.

Respect for Weakness teaches us to see beyond what can be seen and focus on the inner person - the hidden 'us'.

So, if I want to have a good relationship with another person then the way to make progress is found in deep respect.

Christ has great respect for each one of us, despite our weak nature.

We become a follower of Christ by doing likewise.

WEAKNESS

Weakness, being weak, is very much a part of human nature.
Of course we all like to be strong and able to face whatever comes our way.
Yet, there is a certain hidden strength in loving to be weak.
This is a paradox as we still feel weak. The difference lies in our ability to deal with weakness.
This is a special strength that comes from our spirituality.
Then we can we happy to be who we are, despite failings and weakness that seem to hold us back.
'In my weakness, I find my strength.'

POSITIVE MIND

When we are positive we create a wonderful atmosphere where our mind can rest and be at peace.
Sometimes we forget and allow ourselves to be involved with negative things, worries etc.
However, as soon as we cop on to ourselves and realise these thoughts are not making us happy, then we return to positive-minded thoughts.
This is what sanity is all about, being a person with a positive mind.
This gift of life that has been given to us is too precious to waste.
Apply POSITIVE thinking and positive solutions will come.
