All you need...Day 17

2 Corinthians 12:9
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.

What a comfort to know that God truly provides all we need.  Even when we think we need more or we don't have enough of something specific.  This verse just reminds me that God provides it all!  I tend to get prideful and God always helps to keep me humble.  He needs me to be humble so He can do the work He needs to do through me.  When I claim it for myself, I fail.  When I surrender it to God, He succeeds and makes me strong.

I need God's grace in every area of my life.  There is not a single part of my life that I want to keep God away from.

What a great song, I think Corey may have sung it before:
My faithful Father, enduring Friend 
Your tender mercy’s like a river with no end 
It overwhelms me, covers my sin 
Each time I come into Your presence 
I stand in wonder once again

CHORUS: 
Your grace still amazes me 
Your love is still a mystery 
Each day I fall on my knees 
Your grace still amazes me 
‘Cause Your grace still amazes me

Oh, patient Saviour, You make me whole 
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul 
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say 
I know there’s no way to repay You 
Only to offer You my praise

It’s deeper, it’s wider 
It’s stronger, it’s higher 
It’s deeper it’s wider 
It’s stronger, it’s higher
than anything my eyes can see
