Grace is one of the most precious gifts God gives His children. It is His unmerited favor, His strength in our weakness, and His mercy that carries us when we fall. The apostle Paul reminds us that God’s grace is more than enough: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
In our daily lives, we need grace—in our relationships, in our struggles, in our decisions, and even in our moments of failure. Grace reminds us that we don’t have to be perfect to be loved, forgiven, and empowered by God.
