When we wrestle with a weakness, we ask God to take it away, to be over with it. But doesn’t’ that make us less dependent on God, to our disadvantage? The more people know we have a weakness somewhere, the more they will see God working in us and know He is real. So we should be content in weaknesses.
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me (2 Corinthians 12:10).
It is usually a wound, and maybe even a sin, to compare ourselves to others. Jesus calls us individually for what we individually can do for Him. As long as we can carry love in our heart, Jesus can direct us to do what He wants us to do individually.
And remember: We are to judge the situation without judging the sinner. After all, we all have weaknesses.
