“My
grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Cor 9:12
To
a Christ faithful friend…
We
have opportunity to impress people with our strengths. But illustrating
Christ-likeness in your weakness allows you to connect with them. In your strengths you are prone to depend on
the flesh, which is often unappealing; compared to your weaknesses where you
are Christ dependant. This draws you to Christ side, and that dependence
is illustrated before man drawing them to you, and allowing you to be a
blessing for God rather than being dependent on being blessed by God. Where you are fallen, flawed and imperfect and
your strength is no longer sufficient to carry you, you know you’re drenched by
the grace of God through Christ; who is your sufficient strength. But, obtaining God’s strength requires you to
surrender your weakness, not fight through it. The verse ends in a period stating a promise,
don’t live it as a question mark.
El
Shaddai: God Almighty, the all sufficient One!
