Suffering is not a badge of pride, but a testimony to love that refuses to quit.

Paul boasts not in strength, but in weakness—because it is there that grace is most visible.

The Christian life is not marked by ease, but by perseverance through danger, rejection, and fatigue.

What matters most is not the scars themselves, but the heart that bears them for the sake of others.

Paul’s anxiety is not self-centred. It flows from deep responsibility for the well-being of the Church.

Leadership rooted in compassion will always feel the wounds of others.

To follow Christ is to choose faithfulness over fame, sacrifice over status.

And if we must boast, let it be in what reveals our dependence on God.

2 Corinthians 11:18,​21-30. Matthew 6:19-23.
