We know that no one is perfect – so why is it so hard for us to admit our weaknesses? Why do we often go to extreme lengths to deny and hide our shortcomings? With that in mind, here’s your REAL Question for the week:
Why is it hard to acknowledge your weaknesses?
There is strength in accepting who we are – warts and all – and then simply moving on; but it starts with understanding why we refuse to acknowledge our weakness! Remember what we St. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome: Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. ~Romans 8:26
It starts with self-reflection and continues with the help of the Spirit!
