Strengths of Each Kind

     I have a twin brother, his name is Tim. Most people who will see us for the first time will often say we look exactly the same. Indeed, we both look and think the same most of the time, but we are still different in a lot of ways. 

     There's this time while we are eating our dinner, I was trying to tell a joke to the whole family, and unfortunately, they did not understand what the joke was all about. Making or telling jokes were not my cup of tea. It would be more of my brother’s forte. At least, I was trying on my part to learn the art of telling jokes.

      This story of mine shows us that we are all unique, even for those who are born twins like us. Don't feel bad if a friend or even a sibling of yours is good at something that you aren't good at. God has wonderfully made us to be unique from each other. He has gifted us with different strengths and abilities. Being created uniquely by God would help us to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. In our weaknesses, we learn to seek God’s help to strengthen us.

     When we pray, let’s thank God for our strengths and all the abilities he gave us. And as for our weaknesses, we ask help from others, especially from the one who created us, our Heavenly Father. Who knows? God might make a weakness of ours into strength.

Prayer

Lord

      Thank you for granting me amazing talents and strengths. Help me use them and improve them to please you. Help me improve my weaknesses and know that You will be my strength. In Jesus Name, I pray Amen.
