Can't say I'm perfect in having the attitude Paul talks about here, but it is certainly my goal:
So I wouldn't get a big head, I
was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my
limitations. Satan's angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact
did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and
mighty! At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and
then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength
comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to
let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating
the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now
I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations
that cut me down to size--abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I
just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I
become. (2 Corinthians 12:7–10 MSG)
