In today’s communication we delve into the intriguing topic of the spiritual gift of strength. Strength is a multi-faceted concept, and we'll explore it from both the external and internal perspectives.
Let's start by examining the external aspect of strength. People have diverse ways of showcasing their strength to the world. Some individuals focus on bodybuilding, aiming to look physically robust, as they believe it grants them a sense of power. And, in a way, it does, as appearances can indeed influence how we feel about ourselves, as well as how we think others will see us.
Others, however, associate strength with material possessions and financial success. They might accumulate wealth, possess grand houses, luxurious cars, and every conceivable luxury as a way to demonstrate their strength in the material realm. To a certain extent, this can also be true, as one's financial status can impact their influence and standing in society.
Moreover, some individuals perceive strength through positions of power, like politicians or being dominant in relationships. They might believe that such authority signifies their inner strength. However, it's essential to note that dominance doesn't always indicate true strength; sometimes, it can be a sign of weakness. However, this is a complex topic that deserves further discussion in the future.
Now, consider how you manifest your strength in the world. What empowers you and gives you the courage to face opposing forces? Understanding this aspect is crucial in
recognizing your unique approach to external strength. It's essential to remember that everything, including ourselves, is composed of atoms, which have their own electrical charges, constituting a force of energy. This perspective allows us to see everyone and every situation as interconnected energetic forces. Some of these forces work for you and others work against you.
That is why it is essential to know yourself so that you build personal power and quiet strength. Quiet strength does not need to be demonstrated, only employed when using personal power.
In our next episode, we will delve into strengths from an internal perspective, exploring the inner reservoirs of strength that lie within us.
