John 1:14–16 (NRSV) — 14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, 

and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. ... ... 

16 From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT) — 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.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (The Message) — 9 and then he told me, My grace is enough; 

it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. 

Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. 

I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. 

It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness.

Share the gift of grace that has been bestowed upon you

and you will see it abound in others ... 

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
