The document discusses limitations and how people should view them. It makes three key points: 1. Everyone has limitations such as time, talent, money, etc. and it is better to acknowledge them than ignore them. 2. Limitations can be used for good if one allows God's power to work through them, as Paul discussed feeling strong when weak through God's grace. 3. Limitations can help people grow, increase freedom, and stimulate creativity, as supported by quotes from photographers and artists. The document encourages viewing limitations as gifts from God rather than nuisances.

What should you do about real limitations?
Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my 鍖esh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christs power may rest on me. That is why, for Christs sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. ! 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (NIV)
What we know about limitations Everybody has them - "I was given..." They have a purpose - "To keep me from being conceited..." It's okay for you to ask for God to take them away - "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me" You can either whine about them or rejoice in them - "Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses" God will use them if you allow him to - "My power is made perfect in weakness"

Limitations help you grow as a photographer. Traveling with the Fuji x100s for a month, from Iceland to my home country in France, was very liberating. Not only the comfortable size and weight of the camera was a great advantage, the fact that the camera became a simple tool and did not get in the way between me and my vision was the best part. ! - Valerie Jardin

Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the money in the world, all the colors in the palette, anything you want - that just kills creativity. - Jack White
Question: How are you viewing your own limitations? As a nuisance? (Pray) As a gift? (Worship) As a source of power? (Action)
As a team - What is a limitation we face between where we are now and where we want to be? How can we allow God to turn it into a strength?
