Paul’s restraint in boasting speaks louder than any vision could.

True spiritual maturity is found not in the extraordinary, but in how we carry the ordinary burdens of life.

The thorn remains, not to punish, but to preserve dependence on grace.

We often pray for relief, but God gives us resilience.

Weakness, surrendered to Christ, becomes a vessel of power.

This is not resignation—it is holy acceptance.

To boast in weakness is to reject the illusion of self-sufficiency.

2 Corinthians 12:1-10. Matthew 6:24-34.
