His Grace is Sufficient

Paul prayed three seperate times for God to remove the thorn from his side. Three times he asked for a cease in his pain. Three times he cried to God. God answered with these words:

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in
weakness"

Paul then went on to boast in his weakness, and proclaiming, "For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Delight in your weaknesses, knowing that God's grace is sufficient for you to overcome and become stronger. Don't allow your weakness to consume you, rather let the grace of God consume you. Your weakness will become perfect through Him.

God is our ultimate compliment, He is the only true love we can ever have. You see commercials of personals sites offering free compatability tests to find your one true love, but with God, we are all His true love, because we all share the same quality; we are redeemed by Christ. If He sees Christ in all we do, then we have our true love.

I've struggled so much with striving too hard for a relationship, and it skews my focus on who's love is sufficient for me, and that's God's. Seek first His kingdom, His righteousness, His love ... and all these things will added to you. Don't take your eyes of what is to come. Don't remove yourself from His presence, because that is where we are to spend eternity. Revelations explains what happens to the Earth after the second coming, the seven bowls of God's wrath is poured out. Outside of His presence, we are doomed to face hell, and we are bound to stumble with great reprocussion. In His presence, forever will we be redeemed.

Because His Grace is Sufficient.
