Your Weak Spot Is a Construction Zone

This weakness is ruining my life.

This weakness is where God is currently building.

The thing you're most embarrassed about is usually the thing God is most actively working on. Weak spots aren't proof you're broken — they're marked-off areas where the crew is on site.

Use it when: A struggle you can't shake, an old wound, a flaw everyone can see.

Backed by: Ether 12:27 — "I give unto men weakness that they may be humble... then will I make weak things become strong unto them." The weakness came with a construction plan attached. 2 Corinthians 12:9 — Paul begged God to remove his own weakness and got this instead: "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Exodus 4:10–12 — Moses tried to disqualify himself for being "slow of speech," and God answered by claiming the very mouth Moses doubted: "I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say."

What He’d say

I give weakness so you'll come to me — and when you come, I make weak things strong. The spot you're most ashamed of is where my crew is on site. Don't condemn the construction zone.
