It\u2019s not that I was facing serious setbacks, like a disability or dire financial straits (and kudos to anyone who\u2019s killing it in life despite that, you guys are the real troopers). Rather, it was the little things that started adding up:<\/p>\n<p>From young, I was the emo kid (unlike my brother, who, apparently, was the happiest baby ever\u2014our parents claim they could count the number of times he cried with one hand).<\/p>\n<p>Then in high school, I did badly in Math and Science no matter how hard I tried. Somehow, being good at languages and the humanities didn\u2019t matter. Those subjects were usually considered \u201cworthless\u201d and weren\u2019t well-valued in our education system.<\/p>\n<p>To top it off, I grew up with a slouching habit that felt so hard to break. \u201c<em>The hunchback of Notre Dame is here,<\/em>\u201d my classmate in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> grade once whispered when I walked into class (I\u2019m sure he meant no malice but it stung anyway).<\/p>\n<p>And girls, you might relate to this one: I also never used to feel beautiful because of my thick thighs and frizzy hair.<\/p>\n<p>My lack of self-esteem also led me to believe that I couldn\u2019t speak well and would never ace any interviews, much less do any form of public speaking.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage of my life, many of these things affect me a lot less now, thanks to God, who\u2019s taken me on a journey of rediscovering my worth and ability in Him.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m now a writer (and proud of it) who can embrace my softer, emotional side (which I used to see as a paralyzing weakness), who is way more comfortable with the skin I\u2019m in. This year, I conducted two classroom lessons for middle school children while on a mission trip to Cambodia\u2014not bad for someone whose knees literally used to shake during class presentations.<\/p>\n<p>And if there\u2019s anything I\u2019ve learnt along the way, it\u2019s this: Magnifying your weaknesses (till it crushes every last sliver of your self-esteem) will only doom you to sink deeper into them.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t choose how talented or good-looking we are, but we can choose what we magnify every time we\u2019re confronted with a fresh weakness or failure. <strong>Will you add every disappointment you have with yourself to your mental list of not-good-enoughs and think, \u201cThis is how it\u2019s always gonna be\u201d, or will you magnify what the Lord says about your weaknesses instead?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And<em> this<\/em> is what He says in 2 Cor. 12:9 (AMP) (my favorite verse growing up):<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2026but He has said to me, \u201cMy grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough\u2014always available\u2014regardless of the situation]; for [My] <strong>power<\/strong> is being <strong>perfected<\/strong> [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that the word &#8216;power&#8217; in this verse is <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lang\/lexicon\/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G1411&amp;t=KJV\">dynamis<\/a><\/em> in the original Greek, and <em>dynamis<\/em> refers to <em>God\u2019s power for performing miracles<\/em>, among other things?<\/p>\n<p>Ever been stunned when the most nervous student in class manages to deliver a great speech? Or an introvert with journalist dreams\u2014that everyone thought would never succeed\u2014actually does well on her newsroom internships (both me)? Now <em>that\u2019s<\/em> a glimpse of God\u2019s miracle-working power. And I\u2019m glad that what I saw as my weaknesses shows forth His strength, grace and undeserved favor in my life.<\/p>\n<p>The Christian life is really about discovering more of your weaknesses, but also <a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/really-what-is-spiritual-growth\">discovering that God\u2019s strength will overcome and swallow up every one of them<\/a>. Know what one of the translations of \u201cperfected\u201d in 2 Cor. 12:9 is? It means to \u201cadd what is yet lacking in order to render a thing full.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re feeling just a little, moderately, or <em>really<\/em> lacking today. God can fill you up to full with His strength.<\/p>\n<p>So whether you relate to my story, or you\u2019re struggling with far more crippling setbacks\u2014will you see your weaknesses the way God sees them: <strong>Not liabilities, but areas where His power can be shown most effectively?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BmlJFijggDS\/?taken-by=decibel.one\">these<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BmqSnyDg1Se\/?taken-by=decibel.one\">stories<\/a> in the Bible where God does that, time and again. Although we won\u2019t always see immediate, flourishing victories every time we remind ourselves of His strength (#keepinitreal), we do get one step closer to success in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I pray you\u2019ll start seeing how your less can be so much more with the Lord. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"share-box fusion-sharing-box boxed-icons\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;\" data-title=\"How I discovered that my less is more with God\" data-description=\"How I discovered that my less is more with God \r\n\r\nSarah G | 3 min read \r\n\r\nFeeling less-than has always been the story of my life.
