And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (II Corinthians 12:9)
Every morning when my feet touch the floor I humbly thank God for another day that He’s given me to be up and about. Since my lightning accident, I vividly remember many days when I’ve been too sick to get out of bed. There have been times when I have wondered if I would ever be able to get around without the constant assistance of a wheelchair, walker, or cane.
I have always known God to be faithful, but after my accident 26 years ago I really sought after God. What I continue to find over and over is a loving heavenly Father that desires for me to grow in Him so He provides the grace for me to overcome the obstacles that are in my way.
One of my favorite authors, Roy Lessin says, “Grace enables you to do all God calls you to do today. Success is not based today upon what you can accomplish, but upon what He will do through you.”
I pray that you will let those words sink into your heart and no matter how inadequate you are feeling—God is in control of all things.
Why don’t you surrender and snuggle in the blanket of His grace.
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
