“The smaller you get—the smaller life makes you—the easier it is to see the grandeur of grace. While I am far more incapable than I may have initially thought, God is infinitely more capable than I ever hoped.”

Meaning

This points to humility as a way of seeing clearly. The shrinking here is not defeat so much as the loss of self-importance, which makes grace feel larger and more real. It can be read by someone facing failure, weakness, or a humbling season, when the comfort is not self-confidence but the sense that help is greater than personal strength.
