2 Corinthians 12:1-10
We would prefer a life of limitless abilities and opportunities and, if we're honest, we really dislike having to slow down, say no, fail, or quit. We would engineer lives of strength and self-sufficiency, and fool ourselves into thinking we are doing God a favor by not needing his help. How foolish! By escaping our weakness, we would be cutting off the means by which God most reveals his power, comfort, and care to us. But God loves us enough to send us weaknesses that lead us to him - he cares enough to NOT let us be satisfied and safe without him!
