But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power
is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7)
Gracious and loving Father, it feels so good to be done with"doing more and trying harder." It's so liberating to know that far from denying and despising my limitations, the gospel actually calls me to accept them. Take this "jar of clay" and release the aroma of grace through me today-in all of my relationships and everywhere you send me. I'm done with trusting in my "grit"; I will rely on your grace for the power I need to live and love to your glory.
Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Cor. 12:9 NLT)
Lord Jesus, if your power works best in my weakness, then I gladly humble myself before you today, with palms up in praise and surrender. You are my righteousness and sufficiency; my help and my hope; my life and my freedom.
Work in me and through me to your glory today. Free me from any need to be noticed and appreciated. I love being loved by you and living as a conduit of your life-giving grace. Amen
