Paul wrote, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’ ” (v. 9). It’s an astonishing answer. God said to Paul, and therefore, perhaps to all of us, “I’m going to leave your brokenness there, and I’m not going to fix it, because my grace is enough for you. Not only that, but my power is perfected when you can’t do anything to get rid of it yourself.”
