God has never been impressed with strength or self- sufficiency. In fact, he is drawn to people who are weak and admit it. Jesus regarded this recongnition of our need as being "poor in spirit" It's the number one attitude he blesses.
If God only used perfect people, nothing would ever get done, because none of us is flawless. That God uses imperfect people is encouraging news for all of us.

The truth is God is ACTUALLY ATTRACTED to weakness. He can't resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need Him. In fact, IT'S OUR WEAKNESS that makes room for His presence in us. Because with God, our usefulness to Him, is based on our weakness. And God won't fill a man or a woman that is full of themselves. Here is how this applies to our lives: if I want to indulge my ego at God's expense, He won't use me.

There is a part of us that needs to admit that we are alittle lost in life and need guidance and a miracle now and then. God strength shines thru when we feel weak and lean on him, asking him for all we need to become whole again. As long as we work in this mindframe, and keep moving to make things happen, I beleive things will get better.
I have seen it happen in my life time and time again, but it doesnt happen always nor does it happen right away.

Well, if that's the case, I guess I am overdue for a blessing or two because I admit to being a weak punk everyday. My life sucks so bad. I keep praying though. Maybe one day God will hear me.

In my weakness, I find strength in God. In times I feel I'll fail, even if I do, I don't blame God..I try harder next time, with Grace at the wheel.

What weakness is there in the image of God? This is a good foundation to build on.

You are right.
Anyone thinks that he is strong or perfect would cause destruction to himself. But in reality, all men bear the seeds of perfections that they must learn to make advancement. We are all equal in the potentiality of perfection. Let us try hard with full faith in God's guidance and assistance..
