Just when you think you're on top of the world, completely independent, and self sufficient - something happens.
God gives you a thorn.
He has a way of doing that.
Take the great apostle paul, for example. Even HE was given a thorn. (2 corinthians 12:7-10)
God gives us thorns, to humble us. Make us rely on him, rather than ourselves.
For He is made perfect in our weakness.
I ask him to take it away...yet he resists. Instead, reminding me that His grace is Sufficient.
So here i am, with my thorn.
I'll try not to cry and be upset.
Instead, I'll thank him for humbling me, and for making his grace sufficient
