I will boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell within me.  – 2 Cor 12:9

Reflection.  A holy dissatisfaction with self is a good thing.  St. Paul boasted of his weakness because it was in weakness that he found God’s strength.  He came to see that it was God’s power in him that made all the difference.  Don’t be discouraged because of your weakness.  God isn’t finished with you yet.

Prayer.  Teach me to laugh at myself more, O Lord. Â
