100+0=100
Scripture Focus: 9 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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.—2 Corinthians 12:9
From Glory to Glory:
Have you ever faced something that felt flat-out impossible? You prayed. You fasted. You thought through every option, every strategy. You stayed up late trying to figure it out and woke up early hoping something would shift. You gave it all you had—and still, it wasn’t enough.
That’s when GRACE steps in.
I like to say it like this: Grace is a Heavenly resource for every Earthly need. It’s the divine source that reveals itself when we run out.
Here’s the good thing. Grace doesn’t require you to have it all together. Grace specializes in places of lack. (Oh, and here’s a secret grace is actually attracted to weakness.)
The Apostle Paul said it best:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Grace is like having full coverage insurance with no deductible. No shortage. No lacking. No gaps in your protection or provision.
But, here’s the question. Do we delay grace by striving in our own strength. As we try to muscle our way through, fix it ourselves, and prove we’re capable, we actually leave God on the sidelines saying, “We got this.”
Could it be that Grace is waiting on your surrender?
Let me say it like this: 100 + 0 = 100 every time.
You may feel like you have nothing—but if you’ll bring your zero, God will bring His hundred. So stop trying to earn it. Stop trying to impress Him. Grace is not a reward—it’s a promise. It’s not based on your merit—it’s based on His mercy.
Take a deep breath. Relax. Bring your empty hands—and watch God do what only He can. Remember this. Grace and Impossibility can't be roommates. Because when Grace moves in, Impossibility moves out.
