2 Corinthians 12

[solo66 man]

7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was
given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan , to torment me.

8 Three times I pleaded with the
Lord to take it away from me.

9 But he said to me, "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.

10 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.

This is a word for those who believe that if you believe in God and have the right amount of faith, life on earth will be perfectly heaven.

[heather]

This passage was good for me. It let me realize that God uses us, even with our failings. That he can even turn a thorn in the flesh into something wonderful for the kingdom.
