Grow strong in your weakness. Some of my children I've gifted with abundant strength and stamina. Others, like you, have received the humble gift of frailty. Your fragility is not a punishment, nor does it indicate lack of faith. On the contrary, weak ones like you must live by faith, depending on me to get you through the day. I am developing your ability to trust me, to lean on me rather than on your understanding. Your natural preference is to plan our your day, knowing what will happen when. My preference is for you to depend on me continually, trusting me to guide you and strengthen you as needed. This is how you grow strong in your weakness.

在你的脆弱中茁壯成長。我的一些子女被賦予了豐富的力量和耐力。而像你這樣的人，則獲得了令人謙卑的脆弱的禮物。你的脆弱並非是懲罰，也不表示信仰的缺失。相反地，像你這樣軟弱的人必須依靠信心生活，依賴我來度過每一天。我正在培養你相信我、依靠我，而不是依靠你自己的理解的能力。你天生傾向於規劃自己的一天，知道什麽時候會發生什麽。而我更希望你不斷地依賴我，信任我來引導你，並在需要時剛強你。這就是你在脆弱中茁壯成長的方式。
