2 Corinthians 12:9–10 (CSB)

9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.”

Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. 10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Weakness

Have you ever felt

Weak

It doesn’t matter if you are weak or insulted have hardships or even been persecuted if you fall in these groups Paul is speaking to you about being taking pride in the weakness because Christ’s grace was given for you.
