Praise God he does know and he loves us. His grace is the most incredible thing.

I was thinking that the central symbol of Christianity is the cross, emblem of failure and shame, and yet it is a sign of hope and glory…because God can redeem anything…even our persistent failures and weaknesses. He knows…

Thanks so much, Charis.
I guess our acknowledged weaknesses guide us as to what we should not attempt, as our strengths signal the jobs or ministries we might excel at. (Of course, God may guide us to do something that we are not naturally gifted at, so that we learn to pray and rely on him as we do it. For instance, I was led to make my living as an entrepreneur, but I am naturally a dreamy, poetic sort of girl, who would rather not have to think about money at all!)

Our weaknesses are as much a part of God’s plan for our lives as our strengths.
I will carry this with me today!
