Becoming Strong

   The person that knows us the best is God. He know us better than anybody else, even ourselves. Oftentimes we have a certain perspective of ourselves and what our weaknesses are. However, God knows what our true weakness is and how we can make it strong. God said "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) This scripture means a lot, first of is that weakness is not a bad thing. Weakness is a tool that God uses to make us humble and more receptive to God himself. Moreover, His grace and mercy can help us overcome our weakness. But, what really struck me this week as we read this verse is that it God is the one who will show us what our weakness truly is. The weakness we may be working on might be the wrong one! So, as we turn to the Lord He can make our weakness into strength. But, we must first humble ourselves, come unto God and have faith in Him. As we do this we will discover our true weakness and it will become strong unto us.
