Weakness

I have been thinking a lot about my weaknesses recently. Those things that I fear keep me from having the desires of my heart, and leave me wondering if I will be able to progress as I desire. I know my strengths and what makes me wonderful. :) But I also recognize my weakness and my imperfections, which I know I am not alone in. Which is why I am  grateful for the Lord's Grace, power and strength spoken of in the scriptures. They remind me that I can trust that he can help me in my weaknesses. He can help bless me in the abilities that I lack. It will be through his Grace that I will receive the desires of my heart and I will testify of it continually, before I receive, in faith and hope and after I receive, with knowledge and gratitude for the great things the Lord has done for me and my heart.

"Wherefore, we search the prophets, and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy; and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea.
Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things." Jacob 4:6-7

And I was just reading in Ether 12 today.. "I will make weak things become strong unto them."
