But I also think God is speaking to you through your blog post called "Enough." <br /><br />I was thinking about Paul's thorn in the flesh yesterday. I think all true believers have something God won't take away, because otherwise we wouldn't have to rely on him, moment by moment. We'd be sufficient in ourselves. And if God removes that particular "thorn," there will always be another. I guess that's why, even though we see God's glory and goodness in this life, our hope is beyond this life. <br /><br />And I don't say that because I don't think God will take away your fear. I just think that's your particular thorn right now, and God's power will be sufficient for you, to give you all the peace and confidence you need for your visit.Anette Ackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360188067259687608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066452246815331096.post-28888622630823098362009-10-08T13:08:13.678+01:002009-10-08T13:08:13.678+01:00Thank you Anette.
