A Season of Grace
Grace is defined as "the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings."
My family and I have been given grace during this tumultuous time, these verses encapsulate last week's experience.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from 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."
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."
All of this is to say, there are glimpses of grace every day. Kindnesses shared, smiles given by a stranger, and much larger things like being healed from a serious medical issue. As our days grow cooler and shorter look for your season of grace in the days to come. It will find you.
Have you ever experienced grace? Did it come in a season or arrive quickly?
Thanks for posting 2 Cor. 12:8-9. I needed this reminder of His sufficient grace today and for the upcoming weekend (ESV Proverbs 25:11).
