Perfection in our Imperfection

"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Yesterday I wrote about Paul's instruction to aim for perfection. We've probably all experienced a little frustration when things don't quite work out the way we hoped, right? For those who constantly aim for perfection and fall short over and over again, it can get a little old dealing with failure.

But Jesus told Paul that God's power is perfected in the midst of our weakness. In our inability to be perfect, God's power shines through even more!

If we pray, "Lord, less of me and more of You." then we're understanding that it's God's power in us and through us that is more important than anything we have to offer in our own strength.
