“And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness’” (II Corinthians 12:9, NKJ)
We all go through seasons of difficulty that can sometimes feel overwhelming. But during these times, we have to remember that Almighty God is greater than the struggle we face! He’ll take those challenges and use them to strengthen us, but we have to do our part and get into agreement with Him.
Think about the caterpillar before it becomes a butterfly. When it’s wrapped in its cocoon in the dark on the backside of some tree, it doesn’t look like it has many options. But after it becomes a butterfly, it doesn’t just sit waiting for someone to come and drill a hole and let it out. No! That butterfly knows that it has to make a move if it’s going to be set free to fly. In the same way, we have to do something to get out of the confining places we are in. We have to pray, we have to believe, and keep pressing through to victory.
Today, no matter what you may be facing, remember His grace is sufficient for you. His strength is made perfect in you. Keep believing, keep praying, keep hoping, and keep pressing through. Before long, you’ll break free and rise to the new levels of victory God has prepared for you.

To be yourself is to free. I remember being judged by people for being myself. I hated feeling like the outcast because I liked different things. I had to learn that I don’t need to be accepted by man, just The Creator and Saver. I’m so glad I am no longer a victim and that I can be myself. So now when someone asks me “Why do you do that or this”, my answer is going to be “I’m just simply being me”.
