weakness and strength
It seems the more my life requires toughness, the more I need the strength of others. I was told once that is weakness. I don't think it is. I think when you recognize where you might be weak and call for covering you become stronger. Where you see a chasm that might engulf you, asking for help to build the bridge allows you to advance with confidence. When the waters rise, having others help you sandbag your world while helping them sandbag theirs allows you to breathe and rest enough to gain strength for the next onslaught. I am truly strong as I understand my vulnerabilities and trust others who are trustworthy. Blessings.

"Two are better than one, in that their cooperative efforts yield this advantage: if one of them falls, the other will help his partner up - woe to him who is alone when he falls and has no one to help him up. Again, if two people sleep together, they keep each other warm; but how can one person be warm by himself? Moreover, an attacker may defeat someone who is alone, but two can resist him; and a three-stranded cord is not easily broken."

I truly believe this. When I am strong, lean on me and when I find myself weakened by circumstance and life, I will reach out for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so far away from everyone, and when my beloveds are hurting I want to scream out, "Here I am, take my hand, let me help you stand. Give me some of your burden, let me help you carry it; together we are stronger, together we will make it." Of course,,, I do not scream this out because I do not want to scare people away :0), but it is all I have to give, in return it may be what I need from them. I am finding that when we are standing in the gap for each other we are becoming love in it's essence and that is powerful stuff. Your post touched my heart..
