Every man holds a weakness. A side they cannot show. For fear of losing the image of strength. What is strength? What is weakness?
Are the truly strong those who embrace their weakness? Or is that a bunch of new age bs. Traditional vs. modern? Retro vs. metro? Yet it never really changes. The image of strength. The person who doesn't care? Or the person who cares too much? The guy who never sheds a tear? or the one who shares his feelings? The one who stands? or the one who gets up?
Do we fear to show our weakness? Does it protect us, this image of strength? To love enough to not say, or to say? To keep it in or let it out?
Why be strong? Ecc 9:11 Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
Can I be strong? But how to when the definition escapes me. What is strength and what is weakness.
No answer do I know but one thing. 2Co 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Dear God, May Your grace cover me. For you are my portion Lord, I shall not want. Amen.
