I Got You!

2 Corinthians 12:9

I wrote this back in September 2017, and reading it again this morning blessed ME! Sometimes the encouragement we poured out in one season becomes exactly what we need in another. 💜

Years ago, while training for a marathon, I was running with a good friend when she suddenly cried out, “Sis, give me your hand! I want to quit!”

I grabbed her hand and encouraged her to keep going.

When we finally stopped, she was completely exhausted. At one point, she became dizzy and said, “Sis, I'm going down!”

As she began to fall, I held her tighter, planted my feet, and told her, “Nope! I GOTCHU!”

And that reminded me of how God holds us.

How many times have we given so much of ourselves that we're ready to quit? We've poured, pushed, encouraged, and carried until we have nothing left.

But here's your reminder today: You don't always have to be the strong one!

It's okay to reach for a hand.

It's okay to admit you're tired.

It's okay to need somebody to hold YOU up.

And when your strength runs low, remember that God's strength never does. He will hold you, strengthen you, and carry you through what you don't have the strength to handle alone.

You may feel like you're going down, but God is still saying, “I GOT YOU!” And I got you, too <3

2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
