Usually when 2 Corinthians 12:9 is brought up we think of God's strength being perfected in our weakness; that when we are broken His grace can shine through.
Just to take a little different spin on things: have you ever thought about how perfectly this applies to Christ Himself? It was when He was at His weakest, beaten and broken, nailed to the cross, that God's love for us was most evident. God's grace and power was seen perfected in His own Son. Christ could have called out, could have used His own strength, but delivered Himself and surrendered entirely to God's plan...and we are called to do the same.
As Christ has led, so I follow.
