2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Did you know that when a bone is broken and then heals, that previously broken place becomes the strongest part of the bone? What an amazing thing!
The same is true of any of our broken places. The places where we have been hurt, have fallen and failed, and are afraid are the very places that will be strongest if we allow God to heal us. How do we allow this healing? We become transparent before God -- we ask Him to cleanse us and pour His healing mercy over our wounds.
When we are faithful to bring our broken parts to God, He will be faithful to heal them. His strength is made perfect through our weakness!

[worthy_plugins_devotion_single_body]We often think of freedom as the ability to do what we want, when we want, without interference. So when Yeshua says things like “Don’t worry about tomorrow,” “Forgive seventy times seven,” or “Turn the other cheek,” they strike us as anything but freeing. They sound like burdens, not blessings — commands that restrict rather than release.
