Sufficient Grace
2Corinthians 12: 7To 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. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But 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. 10That 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. NIV
(2Corinthians 12:2-4; Deuteronomy 29:29; Luke 16:25-31)

I was at the service yesterday and that message was exactly what I needed to hear from the Lord. I especially appreciated the points about the thorns and the fact that my Jesus wore my thorns.
