Nugget 1: God's Grace Is Sufficient

Are you a perfectionist? If so, you may find yourself frustrated as you walk through life with human weaknesses and failings. Whether you are noticing your own failures today or those of the people around you, none of us is perfect.

However, there is One who is perfect at all times: Jesus Christ.

And He gives us a thing called "grace."

What is "grace"? Grace is God's supernatural power that helps us in our natural, ordinary, seemingly mundane lives. It is the undeserved, unmerited favor and assistance that God gives His children every day.

According to 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, God's grace is sufficient for us, even when we deal with our own human weakness. His strength is made perfect in weakness.

So what are you struggling with today?

Are you frustrated, exhausted, or fed up with anything right now? Have you been striving and driving yourself into the ground, trying to be perfect and do it all—or trying to help others be perfect—and yet failing every day?

If so, it's okay to admit that you can't do things alone. We all need God's grace. It is His strength that perfects our weakness.

Therefore, take a moment right now to humbly confess to the Lord how much you need Him.

God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. And if you will ask Him, the only Perfect One—Jesus Christ—will make His strength perfect in your weakness today.
