In this episode, Kamran reflects on how he often gets offended by his own weakness and the weakness of others. However, he comes to the realization that the Lord doesn't get offended by our weakness but rather by our self-righteousness. Kamran discusses how some people are weak in love, humility, generosity, and vulnerability. He encourages himself and the listeners to not get offended by weakness but instead ask God to help them love others despite their weaknesses.

 You know another thing I'm realizing, I get offended by my own weakness. I get offended by the weakness of my spouse, my Susie. I get offended by the weakness of my neighbors, and of course, I get offended by the weakness of my enemies.

How about we remember what the Lord said to. All he said, my strength is made perfect in your weakness, but I get offended

by people's weakness and my own weakness. Yes, I really do because I don't see it as a weakness. I said, oh, they could do better than that. They should be stronger than that. I should be stronger than this.

I don't think the Lord gets offended by our weakness. I would say if he would get offended, I'm just talking. He would get offended by our strength, so-called strength, so-called. Righteousness, which is the self-righteousness. He got offended by Pharisees. He didn't get offended by the weakness of the prostitute and the tax collector.

Then, so help me God, not to get offended by my weakness and the weakness of others. What weakness? Some people are really weak and they're not hospitable. Some people, they are weak in the area of hospitality. Some people are weak in the area of generosity. Some people are weak in the area of humility.

Some people are weak in the area of.

Vulnerability. Some people are weak in the area of, let's generalize it. Love they're weak.

Hi, Julia. You good? I, I, I came this. Wait, you see the kids? They went back home. Yeah, they're home. Okay. Yeah, I'll be back in a little bit. Okay. Okay. Yeah. You know, some people are weak and it look like the Lord doesn't get offended. If I could talk about for him with our weakness, but with our so-called strength,

then why do I get offended by my own weakness to even love? Up my neighbor even more, or the weakness of my neighbor to love me more, they are weak. I am weak. My spouse is weak. I am weak toward my spouse, and the Lord doesn't get offended and he has it looked like he has no problem with our weakness,

so helping God. So help me, God, that's all.
