Hello ,
When Dr. Larry Stephenson arrived in Somalia to work among lepers there, he was instantly welcome. He wouldn't have been, except for his weakness. Several years earlier in a farming accident, Larry lost all but the first knuckle of the four fingers of his left hand. It sometimes was a handicap for his work in the U.S. but it was his greatest asset in Somalia. The lepers
spotted his crippled hand and concluded, "He's one of us."
He was able to achieve things among them that someone with a stronger left hand could not have."
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
How is it with you? Do you sometimes see a liability in yourself (perhaps a physical disability, or a struggle in your past or present life?) God can take what you see as a weakness, and turn it into something strong for His honor and glory. Give it to Him, allow Him to use it, and watch what happens.
Have a great day and God bless!
