Some days I read my bible and feel like the words were left there just for me… not just figuratively but literally! Perhaps this is God’s intent. It talks in 2 Timothy of how the words are living and breathing, and they certainly do come alive right off the page when I am in study.

Personally, I am the type of learner that has to read something, watch how it’s done, and then write it out to be sure I have understood what I should remember. My favorite method of scripture memorization, is to write out a verse on a 3 x 5 card with the exact words written on the front, and a personalized version to me on the back of the card.

When I put together this particular Note to Self, I chose to personalize this verse because, in honesty, when I am really struggling with something… hearing God speak directly to me is just what I need! It gives me pause to look up and acknowledge God sitting right beside me, supporting this child who is totally incapable of managing things solo.

Note to Self #8 – God, your grace is sufficient for me, for Your power is made perfect in my weakness.

This note comes from 2 Corinthians, and since I took the liberty of inserting myself into the message, I’ve also shared the actual verse, word for word…

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. 2 Corinthians 12:9

The song For God is With Us, by King and Country should encourage you regarding God being right here to carry us through with His power, not ours… https://youtu.be/9HErRFLapu4?si=vDoEb7oVxuc6mBgh
