The majority of us seem to have no real issue accepting acknowledgment and praise for our strengths. However, a majority of us also seem to not be so readily accepting of the criticism and corrections of our weaknesses. It is however, the awareness and acceptance of our weaknesses that adds to our strength, if we allow it.

I think it's safe to assume that most of us would like to have "significant" lives and make "meaningful" contributions, to know that who we are and what we do matters. However, many times we do this by comparing what we can see, understand, and accept as valuable to what we define as invaluable, again based off what we can see, understand, and accept. If our definition of value/significance changed to be more in keeping with the doctrine of God's Word, do you think we the things we pursue from the desire to be significant would change? This is what episode #89 is all about. Enjoy and God Bless!
