How do you accept limitations gracefully?

By accepting what God has in store for me and putting my trust in Him, like when Grace was born, God had a purpose for her to be born early and I accepted that, but it was frustrating to be able to not have her home with us, but I just have to accept it and pray to God

Limitations are like the walls of a room. Some rooms are bigger than others, but all rooms have walls (so long as the funky architects don't get ahold of them =P)

We all have our walls--our limitations--all of which have different dimensions. As soon as we stop focusing on the walls themselves, and instead on how we can make the space work for us, we are almost limitless. Instead of focusing on what you cannot do, focus on what you CAN do. Yes, it's a good thing to know your limits, to push them, to expand on them, this whole time exercising your ability to do what you can. Be the best at what you can be.

A few days ago I was reading this wonderful book, Zen in the Martial Arts. There was this section where Bruce Lee was talking to the author about some of his limitations. One of Bruce Lee's legs was an inch or so longer than the other, something that would hinder most Martial Artists. Instead of taking this as a negative, Bruce turned it into a positive. He was able to get more power were certain kicks and things.

Just because God/fate/happenstance handed you something doesn't mean you can't use it to your advantage.

I'm imagining this question is prompted by something you are struggling with physically. I remember that not too long ago you were severely under the weather. I hope everything is going alright. You're in my thoughts. (((Debra)))

I give them to the Lord and He shows me that even with limitations(I have a couple ,diabetes for one) I can still do the Lord's work and still help my fellow neighbor. I know first and foremost that I must keep myself in check and the Lord helps me with that also. Peace to you also Debra, God Bless

If you have Christ, you are more than an conqueror. read youe Bible daily, so that your faith will grow. Remember, this is how God will begin to reveal himself to you through his word. Arm yourself with his word. If you don't know what's in it, you will not be able to stand firm in the face of the evil one. through God, all things are possible. No problem anywhere is any match for God. Only faith moves the Lord. You cannot please him without it. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you!

Remember that in a race that all the runners run, but only one gets the prize. run in such a way as to get the prize.

1 Corinthians 9:24

Peace be with you too!

sure, freedom is that that's acquired by using innovations after ridding the authentic self of the ego and understanding your individuality previous the physique. looking self is freedom. although, the which skill of freedom is circumstantial interior the case of each man or woman who stories it. we are able to narrate freedom in opposition to what's limiting thereof. some human beings will say freedom is the means to stroll the streets with out the government patrolling. Others say freedom is the means to particular themselves although they so decide for. I say freedom is basically understanding that your physique restricts you greater suitable than any social factor. it is all contextual and subjective. So, for the inability of a shorter and much less verbose clarification i could ought to agree: sure.

dont think of the as limitations but as the fence to keep you out of the dangerous places

to above post good things come to those who ask God to be blessed and really mean it not to those who sit on a couch all day so that they dont have to take any chances

to below post:

Job is talking about what happens if you cross God

in LamentATIONS IT SAYS nohing about evil it says WOE ANDWELL-BEING

in exodus god is talking about his power not bragging about cursing people

and all the other verse are taken out of context thats why you should never read a verse but read a chapter

You can't ALWAYS accept them. Its impossible. I try to make the best of them, rest when I need to. And when the down times come and I get frustrated, I talk to my closest friends and yell or cry or whatever I feel like doing and get it out of my system.

HUGS

I offer them up and unite them with the suffering of our Lord, Jesus. Then try to do the best that I can, mindful that I am a mere servant, but I am loved with that of a fathers love, rather than a masters love. Hence He will always be there with me holding me through the worst of it, as well as the best.

Remember that God is right there and everything for you or me is an opprotunity to give to someone and show the love of Jesus thru your life ...hard as that sounds thats why we are here .. failing repeatedly doesn't make it less true ...It becomes a learned trust of christ ....How much are we willing to trust him

Deb,

This one is hard for me, as I don't know whether some (bad) thing is meant to stay for my continued refinement, or if it's that I'm supposed to stand firm and rebuke it....

Perhaps you or one of your friends can help with this:
