As I continue to struggle with my weight I have noticed that long periods spent standing or walking make me feel weak, particularly when I wake up the next day. I certainly cannot do some of the things I have done in the past. This disease has in many respects left me feeling weak and inadequate (in my ability to serve my family and in my ability to be the "strong" one in my marriage).
The truth is that in many respects we are all weak and inadequate. You may not be suffering from the type of physical weakness caused by a rare disease but you are most certainly suffering from weakness in some aspect of your life. For you it may be moral weakness or a personal weakness. Whatever your weakness is we often find ourselves in a place where we feel very alone, like we are the only person to have ever faced our own personal demons.
This is not true! You are not alone! It is in our weakness that we come to realize the strength of others. For me my weakness has helped me see my wife's strength. This is a strength I could not have known had I not first been made weak.
Weakness, it ain't all bad.
