1 thought on “The weaknesses of our strengths”

1. This reminds me of a teaching I heard years ago at a leaders retreat. We were talking about giftings and how there is a vice behind each virtue. I enjoy the pastoral role – listening to people, lending support, giving counsel. However, if I let my brokenness into that area of gifting I will quickly find myself longing not so much to help and support other but to be the solution to their problems, the savior. Likewise, as an analytical person, I can just as easily get caught up finding fault and judging as I can envisioning and championing improvements.
