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.

Boasting in weakness? Who would boast about their weaknesses? A person who understands the magnitude of grace.

We all have weaknesses in our lives. Some of our weaknesses are sexual, drug or alcohol related, a judgmental or critical spirit, or just plain fear. Those who understand the all-encompassing embodiment of grace realize, wherever we’re weak or have missed the mark, grace is there to right our wrongs.

A religious person would tell us to be ashamed of our weakness, however, having an understanding of grace makes a person appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus. It is His sacrifice that allows us to stay in right relationship with God even when we miss the mark.

Some of us missed the mark in our past and some of us will miss the mark in our future. Whenever the mark is missed, instead of feeling like you let God down, know that through the sacrifice of Jesus, His blood keeps you up.
