Inherently Weak, Blessed to be Strong.

   To anyone with good conscience, it is easy to see that as individuals we are not perfect. Far from perfect. You are not alone in feeling remorse or regret for mistakes, nor in the fact that those mistakes may be repeated. You are not alone in the anger and contempt you feel towards the ignorant, or the arrogant. You are not alone in feeling despair, the lack of motivation to continue with what you deem as trivial matters. Nor are you alone in making hasty judgments, being quick tempered, or slow to forgive (yourself and others).  As Humans, we often dance around with our partner "Weakness." And it is nigh impossible to avert her leering gaze, and skip out on that tricky two-step. We all fall into rhythm. We are weak. However, this isn't always a bad thing (depending on how we handle said weakness).

"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."-Ether 12:27

Just because we have several weaknesses, does in no way mean we are stuck with them. If we are to humble ourselves and realize that through God's help, we may be blessed to become Strong! Blessed to become STRONG!! I LOVE THAT WORD!! Powerful, Resolute, Capable, Durable, Firm, Solid, Substantial, Mighty, Stalwart, Stout, UNYIELDING! I love it!

Not fixing our weaknesses only drowns us further in them. (if that makes sense-it made sense in my head). It takes time. Just as a sapling takes time to grow into the mighty oak, so will we. We have to put our Faith in God and have patience. We all have a way out! Flex that Righteous Bicep and make it huge!
