2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
The Apostle Paul was in a particularly difficult time in his life. He had prayed and prayed for God to remove what he called a "thorn in his flesh." We don't know that the "thorn in the flesh" was. It could have been a physical ailment, or it could have been the continued persecution he received as he preached the Gospel.
We do know that Paul felt the "thorn" limited his ministry and affected his life. We know Paul asked God on three different occasions to remove it.
God finally answered his prayer by saying, "My grace is sufficient for you." Then God went on to say that His power was made evident in Paul's weakness.
What is God's Grace? God's grace is His unmerited favor. It's God's love, expressed for no other reason than He is a loving God.
God's grace in your life strengthens and empowers you. His grace brought about your salvation. There was nothing you did to make God love you. It was His grace that drew you to Himself in the first place.
