2 Corinthians 12:  Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

what would you consider your greatest weakness? so often we look at what our strengths are... but what is your greatest weakness?

previously I would have said it was my mouth... I would have said that both my strength and my weakness are in my mouth.... much of my value in the kingdom of God has been done with my speaking... but also I have caused destruction with this mouth too... I have used the word of God to encourage people... I have also used it to bring conviction or judgement.. which is probably not my place to begin with...
while I am not saying I am right with this mouth or tongue at all times.. I would say that God has taught me to speak less... and only say what is necessary much of the time.. and it usually works.. unless I am angry... then I would say I fall back to the old ways...

I would say now.. that my greatest weakness... which God desires to use as my greatest strength... is my heart.... it is the love that God places in me for others... He wants me to use this to His glory... but I openly admit that I am not to that place yet much of the time... I can show love when it does not cost me anything... but when I get emotionally invested... then I find myself withdrawing yet again... and while I know that this is not God's will for me.. yet I see myself doing it.. trying to protect myself... I would say that trying to protect myself has not been very successful... and I am getting hurt regardless of trying to hide from it... but still I try to protect my heart....
I guess that like God took control of my mouth... He will slowly gain control of the heart too... yet I fear that day more than long for it...

your greatest value on this earth is probably wrapped up in your greatest weakness... give it to God and allow Him to gain glory from it... and become strong in Him rather than in your own strength...
