The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

II Cor. 12:9-10, “And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Therefore, I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Weaknesses are common to all mankind. The older we get, the more

prominent weaknesses become. The Apostle Paul had a weakness; and

he asked the LORD three times to heal him. The LORD said His grace

was enough because His power was perfected in Paul’s weakness.

Since Paul could do nothing about his weakness, He boasted about it.

Yes, he boasted about his weakness. Why on Earth would he do that?

He did it because when there was no strength left in him, and what

the LORD wanted him to do, got done, it was the LORD who did it, not

Paul. Think about that! So, instead of complaining that he was weak,

Paul bragged about his weakness and the LORD took over! How’s

that for getting things done? You might just try it.

The weaker we are, the stronger the LORD appears,
