Everyone has weaknesses...what is important is what we do with them. We seem to think that God only wants to use our strengths so we deny, defend, excuse, hide and resent our weaknesses. The truth is that he wants to use these for his glory too. God allowed our weaknesses in our lives so that he can demonstrate his power through us.
A weakness is any limitation that you inherited and have no power to change. It may be a physical (handicap, chronic illness, low energy, disability), emotional (hurtful memory, personality quirk), talent or intellectual limitation.
We need to admit our weaknesses and learn to be content with them. They cause us to depend on God, they keep us humble, they encourage fellowship between believers and they increase our capacity for compassion and sympathy for the weaknesses of others.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for your, 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
So I wouldn't get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations.
2 Corinthians 12:7
We need to express our faith by saying "God, I believe you love me and know what's best for me." God specializes in turning our weaknesses into strengths.
