Then you need to tell Him that Paul lied. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most GLADLY THEREFORE will I rather glory in my INFIRMITIES, that the POWER OF CHRIST may REST UPON ME. Therefore I take PLEASURE IN INFIRMITIES, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses FOR CHRIST'S SAKE; for WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN AM I STRONG." 2 Cor. 12:9,10.
I know, an oldie but a goodie. It's amazing how many times this Scripture MUST be given to remind some that God has HIS purposes for us.
But.... but...... but......
They forget we still have bodies under the fall....our souls have een redeemed but not our bodies. If all they say was true then they should all be in perfect health now. But even the healers were plagued with long term illnesses they kept under wraps until after they died and it was revealed.
God is gracious to take events and happenings and illnesses and use them for His good and purposes....we go thru life and life is difficult..He said it would be so...but along the way HE meets us and with us to see us thru.
As for those who cannot accept your scripture reference....to do so would rob them of the “other” add ons and they just won’t give them up.
One of the main reasons many people interpret Paul's thorn in the flesh as a sickness is because of the use of the word "infirmities." Yet the word "infirmity" is not limited to sickness. The word literally means "lack or inadequacy." It was used that way in Romans 8:26 when it referred to not knowing how to pray as we should. The NIV translates this word as "weakness" not sickness.
The Lord didn't remove Paul's thorn because Jesus didn't redeem believers from persecution. In persecution, the Lord doesn't deliver believers; He strengthens them to be able to bear all things, thereby bringing glory to Himself.
The Lord was telling Paul that when he gave up, then the Lord took over.
