Corrosion
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9a
If I am being corroded by the environment, I have three options:
Apply paint. Guard myself against the elements and live a shielded life.
Go inside. Withdraw and live a solitary life.
Be made of better stuff. Show up ready and be who I've been made to be, completed by God's grace.
