Yesterday’s Devotional-So Fitting Aug 26

Sufficient Grace

Read 1 John 4:7-5:5

The Lord said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”

-2 Corinthians 12:9 (NRSV)

I give thanks for God’s divine grace and endless, everlasting love. I have seen God as a divine healer since I learned my status of being HIV-positive. When my husband died, and while many people around me were dying, it was devastating to live alone with the stigma of being HIV-positive. I was coping badly, day in and day out, but I sensed God reaching out to me. Gradually, I am learning to live day by day while relying on God.

I believe that God trusted me in this situation to be _a role model just as Job was. I have never been bed-_ridden as many others are. I have discovered that God’s grace really is sufficient for me. I pray continually, “Let your will be done in my life and within me.” What is most important is doing God’s will.

Prayer

Loving God, help us to want your will above all else. When we seek you, open our eyes to find you. We pray as Jesus taught us, saying, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”*

Thought for the Day

God’s grace stretches from forever to forever.
