"three times i pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. but He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 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."
i love this verse. it shows how, even though we may think we're weak, and humanly so all by ourselves we are, but with Christ we are so strong. Christ is our strength. we should, delight in trials and hardships, we should delight in God, not complain to Him. with Him, we can overcome anything and everything. when faced with trials, we should turn them around from "look at me, see how terrible my life is" to "look at God, isn't He awesome to put me through these things to make me strong in Him" we all need to change our perspective and give all the glory to God, and make the spotlight on Him, not us. 'MY grace is sufficient for you...MY power is made perfect in weakness...when i am weak...then i am strong...'
