As I have grown older I have loved coming to see and understand my weaknesses. This is because I can’t change what I can’t see. When I can see a weakness and then pray to understand why I do what I do, I then have the power to make changes in my life. And change brings greater joy and peace.

Of course change is hard, but that is where the grace of Christ comes into play. He makes up for what I can not do. He strengthens me, and picks me up when I stumble and fall into weakness again, and again.

The good news of the gospel is that because of Jesus Christ change is possible, without him we wouldn’t get very far.

How has striving to change your short comings brought you greater happiness?
