I've got a few that I can't share also, Felicity .... Sometimes the hardest answer we get from God is "NO". Is His grace sufficient when he says NO?
Paul felt it was.

Perhaps it's the grace of God allowing us to be humbled by a thorn in the flesh, so that well be saved in the end...........

Paul was weak. REAL men of God have no weaknesses.

Perhaps being able to recognize his frailties was a strength .... Paul admitted.
For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, within my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand
Of course, this admission was not as a license to sin but a need to cling to his Savior.
