My Grace Is Sufficient

I know that Paul was talking about something entirely different when God said to him, "My grace is sufficient for you..." Paul had a problem he wanted God to deal with.

But check this out:
"Divine grace refers to the sovereign favor of God for humankind — especially in regard to salvation— irrespective of actions ("deeds"), earned worth, or proven goodness." - wikipedia.com

That's pretty awesome. When God says, My grace is sufficient for you, it's because you didn't do a thing to deserve salvation. I'd say that was pretty sufficient. Excellently sufficient. More than sufficient, because along with that salvation, you also got all the gifts of the Spirit and the authority to do everything that Jesus did and more. Every time I see that scripture, it makes me think of how much we've been given. If God's grace is sufficient for me, then I'm good!
