WEAKNESS

 

Come, follow Me

Mariam felt inadequate as a disciple. She told the Master regarding herself, "You have taken the weakest of the weak, the smallest of the small . . ."

Rabbi Jesus answered kindly, "And the most loving of the loved."

Love is the answer. If you have great love, God will be able to do great things through you. We may be small, yet the grace of God at work within us  has the power to inspire us to deeds which may prove mighty.

St Paul tells us the following:

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
