And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
– 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Paul isn’t celebrating pain for pain’s sake, he’s honoring the mystery that God’s grace doesn’t wait for us to be strong. It meets us right where we’re worn thin, misunderstood, grieving, or quietly carrying more than anyone knows. The strength that matters most doesn’t come from having it all together; it comes from Christ resting on us when we don’t.“ When I am weak, then am I strong” isn’t a slogan. It’s a testimony.
