Acorn Build Up: Late Night Encouragement (12/11)

Late Night Encouragement

2Corinthians 12:9
...My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

My day got away from me before writing today's encouragement. Frankly, the night got away from me, too! So I'll keep this simple.

I am nothing without God's grace. In my weakness God's power is made perfect.

The Avowal, by Denise Levertov, 1923-1997
As swimmers dare
to lie face to the sky
and water bears them,
as hawks rest upon air
and air sustains them,
so would I learn to attain
freefall, and float
into Creator Spirit's deep embrace,
knowing no effort earns
that all-surrounding grace.
