This morning, I was reading and ran across these words which broke something in my heart – “My grace is sufficient.”
It was the scripture that was needed at this time and it made me reflect and think about how often as leaders, we have many demands, competing priorities, strategic planning sessions, tactical execution tasks and the need to put out fires.
We may internalize all these responsibilities and they can just be overwhelming.
Often we just need a word from God to cut through it all to give us clarity on “what to do, right now.”
Many days, we have to move forward even as we may be hurt or bruised by the “unexpected challenges” of life or “reactions from the people for which we are responsible”.
So when we read or hear- “my grace is sufficient”, we are able to exhale and rest in the grace of God realizing that we don’t have to carry the load by ourselves- or at all.
Wow!
There is a feeling of freedom and reassurance in this scripture because He Jesus has it and He Jesus has us.
He is our strength, redeemer and our portion.

“Because of the surpassing greatness and extraordinary nature of the revelations [which I received from God], for this reason, to keep me from thinking of myself as important, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment and harass me—to keep me from exalting myself!
Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me; but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.”
Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].”
