A thought by Craig Groeschel (2015-10-27) from his book, #Struggles: Following Jesus in a Selfie-Centered World (p. 82). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. (Click on the title to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.) I know we for the most part want to connect with people. We really want some friends but do we really want to share our weaknesses to get them? I don’t think so but Craig says this is the way we really connect. He says, “When we’re always filtered, when every selfie shows only our best side, we may impress some people some of the time. They may think, ‘Based on this tweet, I really like this guy.’ But that’s not real. You’re not really connecting with them. They’re not connecting with you. We want so badly to connect with others, and we think the best way to do so is by showing off our strengths. But it doesn’t work that way. Here’s why: We actually connect with people through our weaknesses. We may impress them with our strengths, but we connect through our weakness
