July 29 Echoes of Eternity
And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. II Corinthians 12:9
“My grace is sufficient for you. My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Your weakness is a necessary part of our relationship, for your strength would vie with Me if I allowed it to prevail. Your weakness is a gift of safety—to keep you from veering too far from the path of My will. Yes, in years past, My child, your weakness was used to prevent your leaving here. So there is not cause for recrimination against yourself or others—but rather an inner reconciliation between the outer circumstances and inner circumstances of your life. Rejoice in My grace more and more. It is not an excuse for passivity or sin, but it is a fountain of refreshment and renewal. It is a life-giving cordial, a continuing cause of wonder and gratitude to My children. Since it is reality, it cannot lead you astray. I am the God of grace!
