"I said, 'His grace is sufficient for me!'"

"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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."
2 Corinthians 12:9 



      Grace. Unmerited favor. In other words, a gift totally unearned and probably undeserving. God's grace is sufficient, meaning enough, full, whole, and complete. It is sufficient in spite of what I am going through. It is sufficient to keep me full of joy, complete despite my brokeness, whole in His presence and enough to get me through to my breakthrough. And not only is it sufficient, but as I rest in His sufficient grace, God gets the glory out of my weak and broken state because it creates an opportunity to move on my behalf. As I rest in His grace and trust in His might, God shows Himself mighty and shows Himself strong by delivering me out of my barren and dry place! Grace. His grace. His unmerited favor is so completely, wholly, fully and enough for me!
