Strengths and Weaknesses

“The Christian often tries to forget his weakness; God wants us to remember it, to feel it

deeply. The Christian wants to conquer his weakness and be freed from it; God wants us to rest

and even rejoice in it. The Christian mourns over his weakness; Christ teaches His servant to say,

‘I take pleasure in infirmities. Most gladly …will I…glory in my infirmities’ (2 Cor. 12:9)’ The

Christian thinks his weaknesses are his greatest hindrance in the life and service of God; God

tells us that it is the secret of strength and success. It is our weakness, heartily accepted and

continually realized, that gives our claim and access to the strength of Him who has said, ‘My

strength is made perfect in weakness.” Christians often strive to hide or overcome their

weaknesses because they believe it holds them back from being successful in life and from being

a faithful servant to God. I often try to hide my weaknesses out of shame and my need to appear

strong in front of others but making these flaws into strengths will help me to serve God better.

I struggle with my weaknesses everyday, and with God’s help I can transform these flaws

into strengths. One of my biggest weakness is my anxiety. Feeling anxious has hindered me

throughout my entire life, it’s kept me from making friends and from standing up for myself. My

anxiety spikes whenever I fear someone won’t like me, I often feel like avoiding friends entirely

is better than feeling anxious all the time. Growing up I would never stand up to my bullies

because I was scared of the situation escalating and scared they would simply laugh at me.

Another one of my weaknesses is my passive aggressiveness. I have difficulty showing people


Okai 2

when I’m having an issue with them or a situation I’m involved in. When I get angry I bottle it

up and let it stew until the feeling goes away or I blow up at someone.

The strengths God has given me has helped me through my middle and high school years.

One of my biggest strengths is perseverance. Being perseverant has helped me continue working

towards my graduation and has made strong enough to get back up every time I fall. My second

strength is my ability to encourage others. I feel best when I am helping friends through their

problems and helping provide them with the strength they need to get through hard times. My

desire to appear strong around others has helped me become a strong and independent person

who helps others.

Making your weaknesses into strengths has helped me learn to serve God better and

helped me to become a resilient person. My inability to be forward and brave has made me more

resilient and empathetic towards others. People often create their own strengths when they learn

to live with your weaknesses.
