It also made me think of how profoundly our words affect people, even if they never say so, and how long those effects last, for good or for ill. And I agree with you that God has a specific purpose in many of the adversities we face in our lives. He not only allows them, but often ordains them for our good. God loved Paul too much to allow him to be ruined, and had too important a purpose for his life to allow Paul to become unusable because of pride. And so God, in His wisdom and in His mercy, gave Paul a thorn, and although it did not come gift wrapped, it may have been one of the best things anyone ever gave Paul in his life. Tough love. Great food for thought with this one, Paula! Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
