28 Jan Weakness and Strength
Identify Your Weakness.
The interesting part of life is no human being on earth who does not have at least a weakness.
Whoever you may be, you must have either one or two weaknesses that can be pointed to in your life.
Though, Weakness is not something to be proud of. It is clear that any success meant to come into someone’s life through a channel where his weakness is located will find it difficult to sail through.
The beauty of it is if you see anyone who has a weakness, and he rose to the top against the weakness, it is not by chance.
It means that the personality has worked on the weakness and overcame it.
Though, there are still a few who are still living with their weaknesses and are still making success in their endeavours, it’s because they have a good manager. It could be his or her spouse, any of the children, or a professional.
The reason some still get it right despite their weakness is because either of those mentioned above is helping them to live above the weakness.
When it comes to marriage, It is the work of everyone to identify the weakness of his/her spouse. Not to embarrass him/her, but to help him or her by calling his attention to the weakness, and advising him to seriously work on it. And if possible, turn it to strength for him/her.
Courtship.
One of the things that courtship does in marriage is knowing the strength and the weakness of each other, not for funny reasons but to complement one and other.
Both the weakness and the strength of an individual have to be noticed from the courtship period, to make the marriage work. The first thing to do is to complement him/her where he’s weak and start to work on him/her for strength.
Take for instance, there are men who sweat a lot, but so difficult for them to keep a handkerchief for a day before they lose it.
This kind of nature can be so obvious for anyone to notice during courtship.
A woman who is very observant would know this from the period of courtship. Whenever they go out on a joint visit, and he forgets his material like a handkerchief or umbrella time to time, she should know it’s a weakness.
Strength.
Strength is your area of grace, where you require no one’s help to function with no tress. Your strength is an asset as against weakness that can be term as liability.
It is only a hypocrite that will notice a weakness in someone and say the person does not have any strength.
Strength is the good aspect of a person in questioning as said above.
For example;
He/she may sleep a lot, but hardworking, the hard work is a strength against the sleep.
All he or she needs is someone that will study him/her, what he/she eats, what he/she does that requires a check and change.
All these are parts of the purposes of courtship. Where the weakness is higher than the strength, it therefore needs to be talked-out in courtship before getting into the marriage.
Your strength must be far higher than the weakness, to reduce the weakness (liability) with ease.
By the virtue of nature, there are people who are so lackadaisical towards everything in life. They don’t take things seriously.
If your spouse to-be is naturally lackadaisical, and you are convinced to marry him or her, that is an area where you will need to focus more attention on with full cooperation of the party.
Preparing for your wedding, you must make sure that full planning is in place and much to-do must not go to him or her, but must be in the know of everything. This is to avoid disappointment that will bring about disgrace on the wedding day.
Adjustment.
Hear this, beloved; There is no weakness that cannot be worked upon and made to become strength, except for someone who is not ready to change.
Everyone must be able to identify his/her weakness and be ready to work on it or allow a professional to help. God can use anyone/anything to stop a weakness, it could be one’s spouse, children, or a car (other material thing) as said above.
Your spouse can correct you, never be too proud to take correction.
