2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Lately, vulnerability has been a topic of conversation among me and my friends. Leaning into vulnerability can be an uncomfortable experience for many. Although it may initially be uncomfortable, being honest about our weaknesses humbles us before the Lord giving glory to His strength and provision. A humble example of this can be found in the early days of life.
A newborn baby is the most vulnerable being that there is. While babies are small and defenseless, they are also so full of life and potential. In the first days outside of the womb, they are flooded with new experiences that are simultaneously the best and worst things they have ever gone through. As uncomfortable as they may be, many of these experiences are desperately necessary for babies to grow and develop appropriately. Just as infants rely on their earthly parents, we can rely on our heavenly Father to nurture, protect, and provide for us in our vulnerability so that we can grow and develop toward our divine potential.
Embracing vulnerability requires stepping out in faith and taking advantage of spiritual opportunity.
