Understand the concept to manage one’s weakness
There is urgent need for everyone to understand the concept that everyone has his or her own peculiar weakness. It is dangerous to track the path of familiarity and still expect to arrived safely to one’s destination. The pitfall of familiarity is one of the greatest factors so many people did not consider while walking or serving someone. No matter how close someone drags you to himself or herself, never you take that for granted.
“Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.” (1Thessalonian 5 : 14)
Don’t be an enemy to someone weakness
That you are opportune to be closed to someone is never the license to start digging deep into his or her weaknesses. You should know that whatever weakness someone you are close to is facing is to let you know that it can happen to you. Yes, you can be a victim of such weakness. With this, you should know better that no matter the weakness anyone around you is facing, if you can’t be of help, never you be the one who will escalate it.
When I talk about escalate, I am talking about you not to be the one who will tell others about someone else weakness. You have to trust God as you pray for such person to grow strong and overcome such delima in his or her life. That you are not facing such weakness at the moment, it never a reason to boast. But it should be a reason to be humbled the more. Weakness is a catalyst to familiarity. Because you think you have seen him or her all. Then you believe you can nail him or her in the public any time there is a little misunderstanding.
Familiarity will make you nail someone in the public but little did you know you were actually exposing your level of ignorance. When you are the reason behind someone public disgrace, you are simply telling people that you cannot be trusted. When things escalate, anyone who makes a report about that person weakness, will always conclude it by it was revealed by, they will mention your name.
Discovery of one’s weakness should not be an avenue for revenge.
When one’s name is mentioned for evil, it accumulates evil towards the person. You are the reason he or she was disgraced out of office, after he or she confided on you, you will live to harvest the huge dividend of the fruit of your labour. Familiarity is beyond what you think. You that is pointing a finger at others, can you be sincere to disclose why three fingers are pointing at you. Everyone has a weakness that he or she is facing. Though there are those whose theirs is extreme, but never allowed familiarity to encroached you when you have the opportunity to come to such person and provide necessary solutions.
It might sound good to you at the moment, but on the later end it will harm greatly. Familiarity is the story we were told when we were young and that is why we were always careful whenever we go to burn a farm land preparing it for cultivation. The story is this, there was a man who went to burn his farmland, as he was setting the whole farm on fire, he failed to realised that he was at the centre. By the time he finally realised he was at the middle of the fire, it was too late for him to escape. He finally got himself to the early grave. Familiarity is like setting someone on fire, expecting him or her to report to his or her early grave and you believing to enjoy the rest of your days. That person may be wrong, but nobody made you the judge.
When you have the opportunity to come close to someone, and you discover something strange behaviour and attitude about the person, it is not yet time to start looking for who you will share what you have discovered. Your first responsibility is to ponder on yourself and start reasoning on possible means you can be of help. You should always see yourself as a solution provider to his or her weaknesses especially when you know you can be of help.
Life is beautiful when we assist others overcome their weaknesses
Nothing in life is accidental especially when you are a candidate on purpose. When we are fill with this consciousness, we will realise that there are more to do to help people than sitting down and be talking about their weaknesses, thereby to destroy their reputations. We should always ask ourselves whenever we encounter situations, what can I do to make things better. Don’t be in haste to react over someone weakness, you might as well expose your own weakness.
Life is good and life is beautiful when we realise that no one has arrived in that land called perfection. This should be our watch factor. Since no one has arrived in that land called perfection, no one is perfect. Whatever that befallen someone, can befall someone else. If it can befall someone else, it can befall you. You can’t assume you are providing remedy when you are actually dragging the victim to the mud.
We add beauty in someone life when we help him or her overcome their weaknesses. People who are still battling with their weaknesses are not happy doing such. They are actually tire of the whole predicament, yet the way out is their greatest challenge. Do not go talking about someone weaknesses if you can’t provide solution to that. Stop judging people about their falling when you can’t stretch forth a helping hand to raise them up.
In conclusion:
31 – “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 – And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians chapter 4 verses 31 to 32)
It might be that why you saw his or her weakness is for you to learn the lessons that will enable you navigate and be of help to others. Whatever you experience is for a lesson to prepare you for a better future. Never you take someone weakness as a means to take revenge. Though you might succeed to take any revenge but I promise you, you will end up regretting every of your actions.
