If a person is not strong in their own strength, how can they grow in their weakness?


Not looking to start a blame game of who did what or didn't do for you.   Let's just get to the facts.  If a person is not confident in what their strengths are , how are they to grow in their weaker area's?  If a person is weak in their strengths are, it would make sense to help them grow in the strengths before helping them grow in the weak area's.  Our strengths can help us in are weakest moments.  

If you are trying  to help someone in life with their weakness & they are hitting a wall & no fruit is to be seen, do some digging in their strengths  where there is lack.   Start by building their strengths up. They may need help finding their strengths. Dig deep, don't just go for the sallow strength, easy pickings will not make for a good foundation.  Find the strengths God put in there. Those will be more fruit giving, not just for that person but for anyone who comes into that persons life.

Look into their passions, dreams, goals, what comes to them easy in life. Theses are the areas you want to look into for the strengths. Also look at what might be blocking them from any of those just listed, that could be what is blocking growth.  

Remember you are dealing with a person,  not a machine.  Take time, be gentle & loving. This person is a gift from God. Their deep beauty needs help unpacking, so the beauty can shine!!!
