It’s Not My Strength

It’s His Grace

2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV

But the Lord said, “My grace is all you need. Only when you are weak can everything be done completely by my power.” So I will gladly boast about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can stay in me.

Life is full

Of obstacles

Ups and downs

Seasons that can

Knock you

To the ground

But he’s there

Never more

Than a prayer

Away.

~~~

And there

Are those

Times

When the world

Feels like

It’s painted

In vibrant colors

God’s masterpiece

Spread before our

Eyes.

~~~

And there are

Those times

When the Lord

Shows

Us beauty

In the broken

Places

When we hit

Our knees

And cry out

Finding comfort

In his embrace.
