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.

Power Made Perfect
2 Corinthians 12:9 flips the world’s idea of strength on its head. Most men are taught to hide weakness, push through, and never admit when they’re tired or overwhelmed. But Paul reminds us that it’s in our weakness where God’s power shows up strongest. We don’t have to perform or pretend. We just have to be honest—and willing to lean on God.
God’s grace isn’t a last resort. It’s the starting point. When you run out of strength, you haven’t failed. You’ve stepped into the place where Christ’s power can rest on you. That kind of power isn’t loud or flashy—it’s steady, strong, and unshakable. It carries you when you can’t carry yourself.
If you're feeling like you have nothing left, that’s not the end. It’s the beginning of something greater. Let go of the pressure to be perfect. Let go of the shame for feeling weak. God’s not disappointed. He’s present, and His grace is enough.
