God’s Power Is Made Perfect in Your Weakness

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” - 2 Corinthians 12:9

Most of us spend our lives trying to hide our weaknesses. We avoid talking about our insecurities, cover up our struggles, and pretend we’ve got everything under control. But God sees things differently. He does not wait for you to become strong before He uses you. In fact, He wants to use you because of your weakness, not in spite of it.

When you feel like you do not have what it takes, you are in the perfect position for God to show that He does. Your limitations are not a liability in His hands. They are the exact space where His power shows up the clearest. That is where your story stops being about your ability and starts becoming about His glory.

God is not looking for perfection; He is looking for surrender. When you give Him your weakness, your fear, your struggle, and your questions, He meets you with grace and strength you did not even know you needed. He fills in every gap. He lifts what you cannot carry. He sustains you through what you never thought you could walk through.

This does not mean you won’t feel the weight of life. It means the weight will not crush you, because God’s power will carry you through it. It means you can move forward even with a limp, because the power of God is not reserved for the polished and strong. It is made visible in the raw places of your life.

You do not have to wait until you feel strong to be used by God. You do not have to pretend to have it all together to be a vessel of His power. Your weakness is the open door for His strength to step in and do what only He can do. Let that be your confidence. Let that be your hope. He is strong where you are weak, and He is not done with you yet.
