Our Weaknesses...

St Paul had a weakness. He called it “a thorn in the flesh.” Nobody knows what it was. But we all find ourselves dealing with our own thorns.

Whatever the weakness was, St. Paul prayed for God to remove it. Here is his answer from God:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Here is St. Paul’s discovery:

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. -2 Corinthians 12: 10

Like St. Paul, no matter what physical, mental, or spiritual baggage we carry, when we decide to advance the mind and heart of Jesus Christ in whatever context we find ourselves, God’s power makes up for our weakness.

Thank you God for always being faithful and helping us through our weaknesses. With you, nothing is impossible.
