Far too often, we as human beings tend to become fixated on the flaws and weaknesses of those around us. Yet, God calls us to see beyond the surface and to value the strengths of others just as He values ours. This call to appreciate and honor the strengths of our fellow journeyers echoes the wisdom found in Ephesians 4:2-3.

Instead of dwelling on perceived weaknesses, let us make every effort to affirm and uplift one another. This intentional focus on strengths not only deepens our connections but also fosters a culture of encouragement and support.
