7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was
given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan , to torment me.
8 Three times I pleaded with the
Lord to take it away from me.
9 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.
10 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. |

This is a word for those who believe that if you believe in God and have the right amount of faith, life on earth will be perfectly heaven. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | This passage was good for me. It let me realize that God uses us, even with our failings. That he can even turn a thorn in the flesh into something wonderful for the kingdom. | |
