Good Morning! Psalm 41:1 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak. Weakness in ourselves and others takes all sorts of forms. I just want to say thank you to everyone for the feedback I got the other day. It helped me see that I am weak in some areas, but that we all have Hidden Weaknesses and that God is always there with an answer. Sometimes from Him, and then sometimes He uses others to give us the answers we need. You know sometimes peoples weaknesses are obvious, a chronic illness, a physical disability or a destructive habit or addiction. But sometimes it can be less obvious (but no less real) a tendency to make bad decisions, a personality trait that alienates others or a destructive habit no one knows about. And then there are the weaknesses we may never detect in someone because they have successfully hidden it from others and even from themselves. Often those who seem the strongest on the outside are the weakest on the inside. But God sees our weaknesses, and He sees the weaknesses in others as well. And just as He wants to help us deal with our weaknesses, so He wants us to help others deal with theirs, as you all did for me the other day. Thank you for your wisdom and your encouraging words to keep on with this ministry. As you made me realize we all have Weaknesses and that it is the weakest people God uses to spread His word. Even King David a man God said had a heart after His own, had many weaknesses. And the other day just made me realize I am human. And until the day I can shun this earthly body, I am going to have weaknesses. So today lets ask God to make us sensitive to those around us who are weak, and to help them both in practical ways and by pointing them to the answers we have in Christ. HABD!

Hidden Weakness
