"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." (Ether 12:27.)"
No wonder the Lord gives us weakness. Otherwise how easy it would be to take credit for our own accomplishments and to rely on our own strength. Weaknesses are a constant reminder of our dependence upon the Lord.It is when we take those weaknesses to Him, in humility, that we can become effectively joined with Him in a great work. It is when we have done as much as we can do that His grace, that divine means of strength and help, can move us beyond our natural abilities.
We overcome our weakness when we have faith in Him and acknowledge we can be better with His help than we can ever be on our own.
As we seek in this life to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ, may we turn to Moroni who was taught by and learned from the Lord that weak things can become strong. He says to each of us:
"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God. And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God." (Moro. 10:32-33.)
