I am not as sanctified, holy, righteous, spiritually mature, loving, self-controlled, patient, and grateful as I think I am currently capable of being.

By this stage in my relationship with Jesus I should be more of all of the things I’ve mentioned above. So much more. Unfortunately, I’m less.

Regardless of my Bible knowledge. Regardless of my job title of “Lead Pastor.” Regardless of my ability to passionately preach/teach about such things. Regardless of how long I’ve been following the ways of Jesus…

I still find myself so un-like Jesus. So un-sanctified. So un-holy. So weak.

This is my reality. I. AM. WEAK.

Thankfully, it’s the acknowledgement of this reality that perfectly positions me to be the blessed recipient of one of the most beautiful promises in all of God’s Word…

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬
