The world influences us to see human weakness as a sign that something is wrong with us, and therefore many people do not open up about thier struggles. The gospel teaches that mankind is weak, but that God's grace strengthens us in our weakness and that our weakness can serve God's purposes.

This article explains from the story of Gideon in Judges 7:15-18 that it is through our weakness that God works out his purposes.

This article shows that Christians know that it is through weakness that God's strength is manifested. It gives three reasons why God gives strength.

Christ's life on earth manifested a perfect balance between truth and grace, power and weakness, and time and eternity. With Christ as our example, we can strive toward the same balance in our lives.
