Can a seeming strength turn out to be actually later on a weakness for us?
This article will discuss how sometimes our strengths can become our weaknesses.
Strength itself is never weakness unless it is being used from weakness. This happens when you are mislead into thinking that one of your weaknesses is actually one of your strengths.
This can happen for example when an allowance or permission for healing the ill health of a person is taken for granted, and you then use your strength of healing powers or gift to heal someone without their permission. Praying for someone who hasn't asked us to help them in this way leads to us misusing our own power. This strength, when abused and misused, then often becomes our greatest weakness. As we become egotistical in using it, we might feel that we of ourselves have great healing powers, and strengths of character.
These so-called strengths lead to our being found wanting because the weakness now developed never allows us to grow past this false sense of our own importance. Love to be embraced fully must be approached from humility and weakness in the first instance, and not turned away from or forced to work for us in our own ways. When we try to strong-arm love for our own purposes to try to get want we want or what we want it to do for us, and not what love wants for us, and to show us, or to do for us, and so to help us to grow love in us more knowingly.
Love lives for truth not for a show of its strength. When you realise this you follow real love, and you no longer just follow the impressionable false stance of your ego. Sure your ego can display passionate enthusiasm, but its way of energetic loving is from a wanting its own agenda to be fulfilled instead of following no agenda for yourself.
The true way of following love is in allowing love to set the agenda or path for you to walk on. This might seem only a fine line of difference, but one that must be seen to see the truth that is always behind the love living in you as love, and not as a falseness of wanting something from the insecurity of any created isolated fears residing still in your ego.
Love shows you your strengths within your weaknesses to allow you to strengthen your weaknesses to then become your strengths. Love utilises all of you and the weakest part of you will often become the newest strongest part of you now to do the unique work that you are now doing for God.
Alternatively when your newest strongest part is held out to be really you rather than humbly accepted as a gift of God's love living in you, this newfound strength can turn again into a weakness. It turns because of your holding of pride because of this strength that you now think is really yours to do what you like with.
Strength becomes weakness only when we try to own the strength for our self and to say that it is ours to do what we like with or to obtain what we want by utilising. Real strength is never used to obtain gains in this way for ourselves, real strength serves others from love and not from the strength itself. Love loves strongly as itself but strength loves poorly when it tries to love on loves behalf.
Power or strength when it loses love becomes a power hungry despot or dictator. Love when given with its own power and without any added power of our own retains all of its love in the strongest possible way. Love strengthens your actions without necessarily strengthening your ego. Love lives in your heart already at full strength, only when we try to own some of this strength does our own strength then turn into a weakness for us.
Love never forces its own strengths onto anyone, but it is always there to strengthen all who will accept it, and to live from love within themselves.
Love is always strong, but it often takes a humble or seemingly weak person to be able to handle it strongly.
Love is also sometimes seemingly weak, and it takes this same humility to be able to strengthen love more strongly in you then from your own accepted weaker but innate inner strengths, rather than only from any of your own perceived but largely only manufactured stronger outer strengths. In this way your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength, and your greatest strengths will become even stronger.
This is because a strong weakness can become a stronger strength for you, but a weak strength will often just stay weak unless it is seen from the full light of love to be the real weakness that it really still is, but only masquerading as, or being covered over by the show of it false outer strength.
When you try to place love in a container of your own strength it will spill out everywhere, and so your strength will turn to weakness as love takes you away from this trapping of love, and from wanting to too strongly hold it all within you for your own gains and for your own usage.
All strength turns to weakness in this way; when you forget that all strength is never just coming from you, but only ever coming from the love that is living in you as you. The journey of life then is to strengthen love in us, and not just about trying to strengthen any part of our own selves. This is living for the greater good, or for God, and this is never just about only just living for our own selves.
