As the Lord has been faithful to open the theme of weakness to me, I am discovering mysteries and paradoxes by which Father's Kingdom comes. Weakness is a powerful, counterproductive posture for neutralizing the influence of darkness. We gain a spiritual fortress that the enemy has no means of countering or penetrating. Embracing weakness becomes a spiritual launching pad for the freedom required to mature in Christ.

Childlikeness increases dependence on the grace and strength of the Lord. In fact, the gift of weakness may be the invitation of Father to join the loving circle of humility and preference within the Trinity. Properly understanding and embracing weakness releases the power of Christ. We are set free to receive from the Father and respond in Agape.
