When Life Brings Us Things We Weren’t Expecting… And Certainly Didn’t Want!
Core Truth: “Sometimes God allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves...Heartache forces us to embrace God out of desperate, urgent need. There is nothing that moves a loving father’s soul quite like His child’s cry.” Joni Eareckson Tada
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 New International Version (NIV)
[I]n order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from 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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
