Sorry for not blogging yesterday...was not feeling well.
Good glorious morning to you!!
After reading The Shack, I've had a wonderful revelation! Some of the pains we experience in life are unexplainable, and unavoidable. God does not cause them or desire them for us. But he is always with us, ready to comfort us during these times.
I have had a "thorn" in my heart for many years and I always ask God to heal it. I have always been thankful for all the blessings in my life...I am very blessed! But I always have my "thorn" in my mind and it constantly weighs heavy on my heart. But now I have realized that God's grace is sufficient for me and I have taken on a greater appreciation for all my blessings! The burden of the pain from my "thorn" has been lifted and I have given it to God. I am sure it somehow will serve a purpose in God's greater plan and will glorify his kingdom!
My situation reminds me of Paul's as in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given to me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take if away from me. 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. 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.
It' a wonderful gift God gives us, to take these burdens from us!
Have a blessed day!
