2 Corinthians 12:9
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.

I just finished reading Cynthia Rutchi's, As Waters Gone By. It's a tale of love,
fear, confusion and forgiveness; one of the best stories I've read in a long
time. As sometimes happens, a particular line in the book caught my attention. "Grace
always outweighs gravity." Wow! That's one I want to remember. The times I
need to cling to grace the most, I'm down, fallen due to sin, down and
depressed, physically down, exhausted and not thinking clearly, and on and on.
The apostle Paul knew this secret and told
everyone about it in his writings. He fell down, was tempted, and at times
physically exhausted. He knew what it meant to cling to Jesus promise. "My
grace is sufficient." No matter what I go through, I know I can cling to
the grace Jesus gives me tied to my hope in him. Through Jesus' power I can
rest on him and be strong. Praise God for his gift of grace.
