Comfort for those who are suffering

2010 February 6
by Christopher Esget

From tomorrow’s (Sexagesima) Epistle, 2 Cor. 11:19—12:9

A thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But 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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
