2 Corinthians 12: The Thorny Subject of Suffering

Things were not right with Paul. There was something obviously wrong with him and people saw it. This ‘thorn in the flesh’ as Paul states was actually something God had allowed into his life. Its constant harassment caused Paul to learn more and more of one simple fact- God’s love for him was enough. He needed nothing else. The thorn is not named so we can incorporate Paul’s trial with our own. The answer is the same for us- His Grace is all we need.
