This past Sunday I talked about the left hand being weak and how God uses weakness to show how powerful he is in our lives. As a way for us to implement a theology of weakness in our lives I have taken an excercise from The Emotionally Healthy Church workbook by Peter Scazerro called "Writing a Resume of Weakness" This is an exercise where we write out the weaknesses and deficiencies that we have. I know it sounds like a real downer but it is actually refreshing because it helps us see that we are not perfect and that we do not have to be perfect. Here are the categories:
Deficiencies in training and education
Missing gifts and skills
Obstacles of personality and temperament
Questionable aspects of my past character
Weaknesses in emotional and spiritual maturity
Just list them out and share them with a friend or mentor and ask them to share with you as well. Your relationship will grow and you will definitely create space for God to move in your life
