*THEME: FAITH AS ACKNOWLEDGING ONES WEAKNESS.*
In the light of our Faith, we can see our own helplessness and await
everything from God.
For man to get close to God, he allow us to feel our weakness.That's what we would expect since it is our weakness that makes room for his Might .
When you are weak, you can not trust in yourself,you cannot believe in yourself and then the opportunity comes for you to turn to Him and to desire to rely on Him as our strength just as St. Paul said in 2 Cor 12:9-10.
*_Your own power and strength must collapse sooner or later_* .
God must allow so many wounds, so many hard moments, so that you can feel weak and through this, you are open to Grace; through your injuries, God gives you Grace of deepening your Faith ( judges 7:1-8,10, 2 Cor 4:7).
The Lord places His gift in a fragile, clay vessel so that whatever we do comes from the power of God, and not from us.
Strictly speaking, there is nothing you can call exclusively your own strength. Any kind of strength is a gift; a gift which you usually claim as your own; and that is why it must be taken from you.
*Let us ask God to help us not to rely on our weaknesses but turn to him*
