Bible verse
2 Corinthians 12:9
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
What it means
Paul begged for his thorn to be removed, and instead God gave him a promise. His grace is enough, and His power comes to its fullness precisely where we are weak. This turns everything upside down. Our limitations are not disqualifications but the very place Christ's strength shines. You do not have to be strong for God to work. Bring Him your weakness honestly, and discover that His sufficient grace carries you further than your own strength ever could.
Read it, pray it, live it
