"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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of God may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
How would you describe yourself? What characteristics would you say describe who you are and your personality? Funny? Kind?
I'm sure weakness isn't one that springs to mind straightaway. We hate to admit our flaws, and would rather talk about our good qualities and attributes rather than talking about our weaknesses. The thing about being a Christian is that, in fact, our whole life shows our very weaknesses.
I've been struggling with feeling weak recently. It's been an ongoing battle with not feeling worthy to be used by God and for His purposes and plans in my life. But through these struggles, God is at work showing me and those around me how strong He is.
Despite my weaknesses, God is strong and He is at work in my life. And through my weakness, God's perfection is seen in all its glory.
His power is made perfect through my weakness.
