How To Handle your Weaknesses

Do you know what to compensate means? It means to make up for something?

That means that if you are not good at something, instead of spending time feeling bad about it, you should compensate for it. Think of something that you are good at, and use that to balance out the thing that you are not good at.

Everybody cannot be the best looking person or the greatest athlete. Everyone can't be the smartest or the best dressed. So concentrate of something that you can do.

You may say, "Well I'm not good at anything." Then I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you concentrate on developing a pleasant personality and making new friends?

The Bible says in Proverbs 18:14 that, "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The best way to make friends is to have a pleasant pleasing personality, and to be friendly with others. And sometimes friends even develop a love stronger than a real brother does.

You cannot make good friends by disrespecting and making fun of others, but by being understanding and sensitive.

By accepting Jesus as your savior, and learning to live like the Bible says, you will discover that there are all kind of ways you can compensate for weaknesses in your life. In fact, once you get involved in serving God, you will eventually forget about those things that bother you so bad now. There is nothing that will make you feel as wonderful as giving love and friendship to others. And Jesus is just the one to show you how to do it.

God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:17).

God wants to use you to help others who feel inferior and unimportant. If you compensate today by giving your life to Jesus, then He will teach you how to help others do the same thing.
