Maybe your weakness isn’t a physical thorn. Maybe it’s mental. Or maybe it’s your backstory, your pre-conversion tale. Maybe it’s the sin that once held you in a suffocating vise. Maybe you speak of it as often as possible so it loses its power every time you back it up against the power of the gospel. Or maybe, like me, your thorn crops up when you need it the least and you wonder how in the world you will accomplish the good work God has set before you. This is the place, friend. This is where He delights in displaying His power–right in the middle of your weakest weakness. He will not share His glory with another, but He will gladly display it in you.

We don’t have to be strong for others. We don’t have to be unmoved by sorrows or stresses. We don’t have to pretend that life is easy for us. We only have to run to the One who is always strong, always good, and always full of steadfast love. As the Lord sustains us, we can point others to His faithfulness that will never disappoint.
