The paradox of the Christian world.
There is a paradox in the Christian environment, something that we do not understand at first, but as we grow in faith we learn.
We find true strength in weakness. The apostle Paul is speaking and teaching us that when we recognize our own limitations by accepting the struggles we are facing, we become much more aware of the abundant grace of God and His power that acts in our lives. When we accept that we are incapable, God reveals Himself and acts powerfully, strengthening us and giving us the ability to endure difficulties to emerge victorious.
In this way we can change our perspective about the problems or difficulties that come our way. These are exactly the experiences that help us grow, develop, and get much closer to God. We learn to develop a strength that does not depend on us but on the presence of God in us.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10
