Paul continues to share personally in today's reading...as he shares about his thorn(he shared his risk and danger in the previous chapter). Paul's thorn was some physical condition or weakness that continued past his conversion. Obviously, this thorn caused Paul some embarrassment. Was it epilepsy? Or something else out of Paul's control? We do not know but obviously the "weakness" made Paul vulnerable and more dependent on God.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
