Could your vulnerabilities become a source of strength?

Have you ever felt like life's challenges are more than just random frustrations? Perhaps they hold a deeper purpose, a message from the universe. Join us on a transformative journey as we explore the profound connection between vulnerability and divine strength.

In the ebb and flow of life, it's easy to encounter obstacles that test our patience and resilience. Just when you think you've made it, something reveals how far you still have to go. But what if these moments aren't roadblocks, but rather stepping stones toward your own growth and empowerment?

Consider the words of the Apostle Paul when facing challenges:

"A thorn in my flesh was given to me, a reminder of my limitations. But the response was unexpected: 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'"

We’re going to flip the narrative of this verse - that God creates pain and heartache for us to test and prove us - and explore the idea that the frustrations you encounter may not be divine punishments meant to keep you humble. Instead, they could be divine invitations, encouraging you to embrace your vulnerability and find strength within it.

Let's debunk the myths that have used pain and weakness as tools of control for far too long. The benevolent energy of love doesn't seek to manipulate you with suffering; it desires a deeper connection with you.

As Richard Rohr beautifully put it,

"You can never really lose your soul; you can only fail to realize it, which is indeed the greatest of losses: to have it but not have it."

This journey isn't about separating from the divine but realizing its ever-present nature within you. It's not about pride versus humility but finding power through your humanity.

Join us in The Practice Co App over the next week as we explore the meaning of weakness and the invitation of vulnerability. The thorns you feel are not meant to hold you back; they're meant to propel you forward.

So much love, as always.

See you in the App,
