Episode Synopsis

"So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.8Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."2 Corinthians 12:7-10I was born with an arteriovenous malformation that has been a thorn in my flesh my entire life. I, like Paul, begged the Lord many times to remove this 'thorn' but each time the Lord's grace was sufficient. Feel free to join the fam and follow me on my Instagram:@[email protected]
