Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” Abraham Lincoln

[The King should] not consider himself better than his brothers. Deut.17

We are encouraged to see a limitation as opportunity for greater faith and to be aware that power can become an obstacle to it. But both can be equally good when we look to God. Limitation and power are both blessings when they shape our focus toward goodness. When God gives us power it is so He can channel blessings through us to others. When God gives us limitations the reason is the same. Who is not inspired when they see someone with power using it humbly to serve, or see people with limitation doing the same thing?
