The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your â€˜thornâ€™ uncomplainingly â€” that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak â€” is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace.”
