2 Corinthians 12:9 But God said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
So – my weaknesses: I sometimes eat too much. I really enjoy french fries and Taco Bell. I’d often rather hit snooze and get a few extra minutes of sleep than get up and go to the gym to work off the previous day’s french fries. I’ve never met a cup of coffee I didn’t like. I could go on and on listing my weaknesses. It’s not that hard a challenge!
But now let me tell you about the power of Christ that dwells in me too. I was baptized. I was washed in the water and claimed. I am loved by God unconditionally. When God looks at me, God doesn’t see me and all my weaknesses. God looks at me and sees Christ.
Now that’s a superpower.
