THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH 

TITLE: EMBRACING VULNERABILITY

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

"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."  

Devotional 

Vulnerability is often thought of and seen as a weakness. Admitting you are struggling, asking for help, or showing your emotions can feel risky. You ask yourself, what if people judge, reject or make fun of me? 

God doesn’t see vulnerability as an opportunity for His strength to shine through us.

Jesus Himself was vulnerable during His earthly ministry. He wept, felt deep sorrow, and even asked for support from His disciples in His hardest moments. Yet, His openness didn’t make Him weak. It only made Him relatable. 

 When we embrace our vulnerability, we allow God’s power to work in us. We create deeper connections with others and experience freedom from pretending we have it all together.

True strength is not in hiding our struggles but in being real with God and trusted people. When we do, we invite healing, growth and our faith gets stronger.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What fears keep me from being vulnerable with others?
2. Who in my life can I trust to share my struggles with?

Let Us Pray:

Dear God, thank You for loving me just as I am. Give me the courage to be honest with You and with others, trusting that You will use my openness for my growth and healing. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I don’t need to pretend to be perfect

• I am loved as I am.

Have an amazing day and see you tomorrow.
