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

 2 Corinthians 12:1-21

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.  I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 

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 have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing. I persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and miracles. How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

Why?

Paul did all his best to serve the Lord and help the Corinthian Church in the truth and grace of the Lord, but there were some unfair judgments or criticisms that appeared. So Paul claimed it is not the truth. The only thing Paul did not do was give a financial burden to the Corinthian Church.

For Paul, love the Corinthian church and brothers and sisters. Paul is humble and boasts of his weakness instead of his strength; this is Paul humbling himself. Paul let the name of the Lord be raised.

How?

Learn the humble of Paul and be a good servant of the Lord in my daily life.
