My
grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.
— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
I was watching Lanterns when Hal Jordan said something that
stopped me:
“I’m not fearless because I’m brave. I’m fearless because I’m broken.”
Whoa.
We usually think fearless people are the brave ones—the ones who aren't afraid of anything. But maybe being fearless isn't about having no fear at all.
We've all been broken somewhere along the way. We've been hurt, disappointed, knocked down, and scared. And sometimes we've discovered something in those broken places: We weren't alone.
Paul learned that God's power wasn't greatest when Paul felt strong. God's power was made perfect in his weakness.
Maybe that's where our fearlessness comes from too.
Not because we're brave enough, not because we're unbreakable, but because we've been broken before—and discovered that God was still there.
