Oct. 24, 2007 - Sufficient Grace: My first blog!
2 Corinthians 12:9
My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.
I love this verse! It encourages me as a Christian wife, mother, and homeschooler! It tells me that I don't have to be perfect. It is the Lord's power that is perfect. It doesn't let me off the hook in striving to be more like Christ, but it does relieve me from Satan's attacks. You know the ones:
*You're not perfect, how can YOU possibly dare to encourage someone else in their Christian walk or homeschool?
*If they could only see how your kids behaved today, they'd know that you are a failure as a mom!
*You don't have YOUR act together, so you can't be a testimony to anyone else!
See what I mean? Satan tries to discourage me with all these things, but God says "Don't listen! MY grace IS sufficient, you are covered, you are precious and I WILL use you for MY glory." Thank you, Lord!
