As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace - 1 Peter 4:10
But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.’ So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
-2 Corinthians 12:9
