YOUR WEAKNESS CAN BE YOUR STRENGTH !!!

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.

Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches.

The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match.

Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out.

He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him.

The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" "You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And secondly, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

"Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame god, the circumstances and our self for it but we never know that our weakness can become our strength one day.

Dear friends, Whatever we might like to think, God really doesn't need our strengths. He doesn't need mine, nor yours, or anyone else's. What He needs most from all of us is our weakness. From God's perspective, the more we have, the better for Him.

When we're absolutely helpless, that's when God shows His most powerful action of grace. It's His pattern; it's His promise. If in our personal and professional life we desire only and exclusively what God desires, then all we gotta  desire--and need--is God's gift of weakness.

It is in our weakness we find God's extraordinary strength. It is in our weakness that we realize His enormously strong work of grace in us. He Said, "My grace is sufficient for you," 

This same promise is all that we have to "hang our hat" on. "My grace is sufficient for you."
