Scripture

CHAPTER 20 Goop “Today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” LUKE 2:11 NASB

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 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. (2 Corinthians 12:9b–10, emphasis mine)
