Finding strength

I am currently reading a book about developing ones strengths. The premise of the book being that throughout our lives we constantly have people telling us what we are not good at or where our weaknesses are and as a result, we get so stuck trying to 'fix' ourselves that we don't move past our weaknesses.

This book presents a different reality. Why not focus on what is good about yourself and what your strengths are rather? In doing so, we will become more successful and dealing with our weaknesses will become so much easier.

Ironic. Isn't that what scripture tells us?

• I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
• Whatsoever things are good and pure, think on these things.
• If we have faith we can move mountains.
• God is our refuge and strength.

I think we know where to go too, to find our strengths, don't you?
