2 Corinthians 12

Paul speaks of a man caught up to the third heaven, experiencing divine revelations beyond human words. To keep him humble, he was given a "thorn in the flesh," a messenger of Satan to torment him. Despite pleading with the Lord three times for its removal, God responds, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Paul embraces his weaknesses, recognizing that through them, Christ’s power rests upon him, making him strong in his dependence on God.
