The Thorn in Your Side

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 7 especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself. 8 Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me. 9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me.10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and in pressures, because of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Do U have a THORN in your Side? I do!!!! its the fact that we really deep down know the thorn but we hide it and ignore it. We think that its just us being us. I know my THORN, and i struggle every day with it. For me the Thorn is the fact that i run so fast to a bottle verses a Bible to deal with my own demons. You may ask me how i know it is my Thorn and i Will tell you that every morning i ask God to take this away from me and he Doesn't. I think that as Paul had his thorn in him it is a reminder of his need for Christ Grace in his life. I feel this way because every time i wake up i find myself pleading with God to rid me of this and i actually feel that i am Speaking with him. It is giving me the connection with him i want. Before i knew him i never seaked him, but now i am always asking him for help. I have all i need even in weakness, but God is always still there for me. His Grace will always see me through, AMEN
