Al sou ek wil roem, sal ek tog nie dwaas wees nie, omdat ek die waarheid sal praat. Maar ek weerhou my daarvan omdat ek nie wil hê dat iemand aan my meer moet toeskryf as wat hy my sien doen of my hoor sê nie, selfs nie vanweë die verhewenheid van die openbarings nie. Daarom, sodat ek nie hoogmoedig sou wees nie, is daar vir my 'n doring in die vlees gegee, 'n boodskapper van Satan om my met vuiste te slaan. Drie maal het ek die Here gebid dat dit van my af weggeneem moet word. Sy antwoord was: “My genade is vir jou genoeg. My krag kom juis tot volle werking wanneer jy swak is.” Daarom sal ek baie liewer oor my swakhede roem, sodat die krag van Christus my beskutting kan wees. Daarom is ek bly oor swakhede, beledigings, ontberings, vervolging en moeilikhede ter wille van Christus, want as ek swak is, is ek sterk.

Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.
