Lailah Gifty AkitaSin drains strength.
About This Quote
Sin drains strength. When you know you’ve done something wrong, it feels like a ton of bricks has been dropped on your shoulders. You feel crushed and helpless. You can’t help but think that you’re going to fail, that you’ll never amount to anything, and that no one will ever love you.
But then you remember the one thing that will always rise above all your mistakes: God’s grace. Sin drains strength because it leaves us bruised and battered. But God’s grace says we can rise from our knees, unfazed.
