Every cursing, just like every weakness, you have can be, and will be, turned around into a blessing if you endure it well. It is like unto when Adam & Eve partook of the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden, and were cursed with seemingly harsh curses; Having to eat bread by the sweat of the brow, thistles and thorns, sorrow entering the world, sorrow in a womans conception, and her desire towards her husband as a ruler.
All of these things seemed harsh, but without all of these, we wouldn't have families or be capable of conceiving, we wouldn't be able to reap the health and happiness of working for a living, we wouldn't know how to work, and we wouldn't know how to endure. We wouldn't have the family roles and structure that we now enjoy for our use and protection, and without sorrow in the world, we could literally never experience joy.
I realized this in my own life. Looking back and thinking over all the years in grade school, middle school, and high school, where I literally couldn't focus on anything except what I wanted to do, I often thought to myself, "What a cursing!" or "I wish it wasn't so!" I literally had the inability to stay awake when working on subjects that disinterested me. I tried soooo hard, but to no avail. I subsequently did poorly in school.
What I didn't probably realize was that if I had the ability to focus on all my schoolwork and had actually DONE all my homework, schoolwork, and was an actually active and attentive student, I would most likely never have became as good an artist as I am now.
(For those of you who don't know me, art is my staple skill. It gives me an edge in many alleys of my life.)
If it weren't for my academic weakness, I wouldn't be anything like the character I am today, and I wouldn't have ever developed the creativity, zeal, inspiration, talents, and personal rigor I now enjoy.
Something similar occured with my social skills. I literally grew up with none. I DID NOT know how to communicate. DID NOT. I struggled with loneliness and sometimes bullying for most of my adolescent life,
BUT
Without that weakness, I would have never tried so ridiculously hard to understand the human psych and social mind, and wouldn't have prayed so ridiculously hard for the same.
Well, study and prayers have paid off. I didn't just learned how to socialize, but I became very good at it.
(If you have struggled or struggle with the social skills, I have a resource for you to read at the end of this article that basically explains, aside from a LOT of prayer, how I figured it out.)
I am SO THANKFUL for my weaknesses, and I am SOO THANKFUL for all the strength I get from them!
In the sacred name of my savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
