God’s sufficient grace given in the midst of suffering?

God's sufficient grace given in the midst of suffering

is that the Lord's power is made perfect in my weakness

(2 Corinthians 12:8-9).

Pride over pain?

Rather than asking the Lord to take pain away from me,

I should ask Him to keep me from being proud

(2 Corinthians 12:7-8).

To the extent of causing pain

God's love is afraid that I will become too proud,

so he gives me a thorn-like disease in my body and causes me to suffer

(2 Corinthians 12:7).

God hates pride so much that he causes pain to those he loves

(Proverbs 8:13).

When I realize my weakness through pain

When I realize my weakness through pain,

I do not need to be ashamed of my weakness.

Rather, I should boast about my weaknesses.

The reason is so that the power of Christ can remain in me

(2 Corinthians 12:8-9).
