i praise God for my weaknesses, faults, and inadequacies because it is in those that he can work the most. it is in those faults that i am humbled, but he gives grace to the humble.


"but he gives more grace. therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'” 
-james 4:6


"but he said to me, “my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. that is why, for Christ’s sake, i delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. for when i am weak, then i am strong." - 2 corinthians 12:9-10
