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.
