Here we are, the day before my favorite day of the year! I’m already drooling thinking about eating breakfast casserole tomorrow morning as the parade marches down the festive NYC streets. So while that excitement fills my heart, thinking about weaknesses feels like a joy killer. I don’t want that. So how about this:

2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

I think about this verse whenever I’m having one of those I’m not good at anything days. It reminds me to focus on God’s promises of strength and peace. There’s relief too trusting that in my weakness and insecurity, His strength is always there for me. So when I’m running on empty and don’t feel like I’m loving other people or myself well, His strength refills my cup.🫖
