Greetings and blessings to the entire Steemit community.

Joy and peace be to all of you in the name of Jesus.

To speak of Paul is to refer to a person, who from his youth was trained under the tutelage of one of the most prominent Jewish scholars of his time, Gamaliel. The future apostle understood the elements of the law and practiced them with great zeal. But when he came face to face with Jesus Christ, his life changed forever. I no longer saw the world with merely human eyes. God gave him a spiritual perspective that radically exceeded what he had known in the past.

However, he had to undergo the greatest rupture so that it could be used in an even greater way. God allowed Paul to be slapped by many severe trials to make him humble and pluck any root of pride (2 Cor 12: 7). Through his times of weakness, the apostle Paul learned a new and inspired principle: "Strength in weakness."

When God humbles us before Him, he sees the meekness of our hearts and pours his strength and blessings into our lives. For that reason, fragility in some area should never cause us embarrassment.
