Notes About The Poem

Romans 15:1 (CSB) Now we who are strong have an obligation to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not to please ourselves.  (for lines 1 and 2)   Romans 12:3 (CSB) For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one. (for lines 3 and 4)

Strength and Humility Are Not Mutually Exclusive

“I, who am strong, must bear with you, who are weak.
I can mentor if it’s strength and wisdom you seek.”
  “I, who am weak, must bear with you, who indeed
   think highly of self and just some Scriptures heed.”
