Who is Grace?
2 Corinthians 12:9 says, But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
I know I have vices. I know I have faults. I know my flesh is sinful. I know I am weak. I know all these things about myself. I know I have more growing to do.
I also know that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I also know that once I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, I was born again. I also know this means I have shed the old self and put on the new. I also know that His grace is more than enough for me and His power is made perfect in my weakness. I still make mistakes, but I have Grace. I still fall short sometimes, but I have Grace. I still fall down, but I have Grace. His Grace is sufficient! His Grace is more than enough to strengthen me when I get weak and mess up.
I know my Redeemer lives and His name is Grace. When I was a teenager, I remember being chastised a lot by some girls at school who did not like me. It made going to school hard for a long time. I did not tell my parents how hard some of my days were at school. One of the girls, in particular, lived two doors up the street. Our parents made us ride to school together. One week my sisters and I drove, and the following week, she and her sister would drive.
We had a good schedule worked out. Then it got messy. It seemed like time we pulled up at school, the trouble began. That was an uncomfortable time in my life, but I got through those difficult days as a teen. As I grew older, a lot of other difficult days came behind them, and I got through those days too. Recently, I experienced some difficult days, but Grace got me through them. Grace continues to do what the scripture said it will do.
As a matter of fact, the tough days always seemed to know my address no matter where I'd moved to. Many years and several addresses later, the tough days still visits me from time to time. My Mama used to say, "Keep a prayer on your lips, because trouble will always find you." What Mama was saying is His grace is sufficient for you.
Now that I am no longer a teenager, but a woman growing in a relationship with the Lord, I know his grace is sufficient for me. I understand what it means. Today, I am still growing and receiving help and strength from Grace. I can say this with such joy in my heart.
His grace was adequate all along during those younger difficult years and even more so today, because- I know Grace. Life is difficult, people can be difficult, but His grace is sufficient for you and it is sufficient for me too.
