Do not be afraid of your weakness

2 Corinthians 13:4 For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness,

yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by

God’s power we will live with him to serve you. - (NIV84)

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to

shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the

strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised

things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29

so that no one may boast before him. - (NIV84)

Matthew 19:13 Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to

place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked

those who brought them. 14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come

to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs

to such as these.” 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he

went on from there.
