My grace is sufficient

But He said to me, My grace (My favour and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger that enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! 2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP

God's favour, loving-kindness and mercy enables us to bear trouble manfully. At this very moment, can you see His favour on your life? Keep looking until find it. Give God the praise for the undeserved favour He gives us so freely.

For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favour and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied). 2 Corinthians 8:9 AMP

At this moment, can you see His loving-kindness in your life? What is happening in your life right now, that tells you without a doubt that God is loving and kind?

He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the loving-kindness of the Lord. Psalm 33:5 AMP

At this moment, can you see His mercy in your life? Are you aware of just how amazing the gift of salvation is that God offers to us, despite our sinful nature?

But the tax collector, [merely] standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but kept striking his breast, saying, O God, be favourable (be gracious, be merciful) to me, the especially wicked sinner that I am! I tell you, this man went down to his home justified (forgiven and made upright and in right standing with God), rather than the other man; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted. Luke 18:13-14 AMP

Yes, God's favour, loving-kindness and mercy is sufficient to enable us to face trouble, live through trouble, and emerge from trouble. Emerge with a testimony of God's power and strength, when we were weak and had to rely completely on Him. Emerge with a greater understanding of God's love for us and His purpose for our life.  

Question for today, are you able to see God's favour, loving-kindness and mercy in your life? If not, spend some time in the presence of God and ask Him to show you what He has done and is doing. His grace is sufficient for you today.
