My grace is enough; it’s all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness. 

Once I heard that…I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness.

1 Corinthians 12:9-10 (The Message).

 

 

~~~

 

I choose to thank You for my weaknesses

infirmities

inadequacies

physical, mental, emotional, and relational.

 

Many times I fall short of what people view as ideal

of what I view as ideal

because

there are times I feel helpless

inferior

insecure.

 

What a comfort it is to know that You understand

emotions

pain

lack of strength

and allow these in my life

so they may contribute to Your

high purpose for me.

 

Many times these handicaps

and weaknesses

cut through my pride

and cause me to walk more humbly with You.

 

It is then that Your power

and promises

give me more grace

and bless and strengthen me.

 

Thank You that inadequacies prod me to trust You

the all-sufficient God

who is always

enough.
