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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I preached on this verse 5 years ago to the week. Literally this revelation from God can changed our life and our attitude toward every difficulty we face. The definition of grace is the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life or favor and power. Thus, God’s favor and power are sufficient for us, and this power is made perfect in weakness. Since power is made perfect in weakness, we boast in our weakness “so that” the power of Christ will rest on us. In weakness God gives us power. Difficulties, weaknesses, and sufferings train us rely on God, and experience in the body, now, on earth the power that raised Jesus from the dead.
