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.

在你的脆弱中茁壮成长。我的一些子女被赋予了丰富的力量和耐力。而像你这样的人，则获得了令人谦卑的脆弱的礼物。你的脆弱并非是惩罚，也不表示信仰的缺失。相反地，像你这样软弱的人必须依靠信心生活，依赖我来度过每一天。我正在培养你相信我、依靠我，而不是依靠你自己的理解的能力。你天生倾向于规划自己的一天，知道什么时候会发生什么。而我更希望你不断地依赖我，信任我来引导你，并在需要时刚强你。这就是你在脆弱中茁壮成长的方式。
