Grace in Weakness | March 26th

 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

   2 Corinthians 12:9

   Beloved, is the grace of God sufficient when you have no faith? Is it sufficient when your will to continue on has collapsed? Is the grace of God sufficient when alignment or trauma has caused your mind and body to succumb to weakness?

  The answer is an affirmative yes. It is not your faith that keeps you saved, dear one. It is not your love for God that causes Him to love you. It is not your spiritual strength that keeps you in the narrow path or causes you to finish well.

  By grace alone, you have been saved and remain saved. We often look to ourselves for assurance that we are in God’s love and goodwill, forgetting that grace reconciled us to God and that in Christ we cannot be separated from his love. You did not love God first; He first loved you, and while you were dead in sin, Christ died for you.

  There is no firmer footing for us than the cornerstone, Jesus. The grace of God is sufficient for our most feared times of weakness. When our spirits are unstable and all seems hopeless, grace is still greater and sure. There will never be a moment when your spirit and faith are so weak that grace does not remain the same. Never doubt God’s love and His hold on you. You are not holding on to Him; He is holding you by grace alone.
