Hello God, it's me again. I know it has been a long time. Please forgive me for my past anger at you.I guess I had to come face to face with myself. I had to confront that thing that has plagued me all of my life. But of course, you know all about that, afterall, you made me. I had a thought though, God. Paul speaks about a "thorn" that you gave him. He prayed and prayed for you to remove it but you told him that YOUR strength was enough. Well, I was thinking, is it possible that you made some of us this way as a "thorn"? You know Lord, that's quite a heavy thorn. But I also remember something about those who overcome receiving a reward of somekind. In order to overcome, we cannot give into temptation. I'll never be able to marry. You know Lord how I have prayed to change. I would love to get married and have a family. You know Lord how much I yearn to be a father. How much I adore children. But you also said that those who give up family and such gain more in the hereafter. Am I giving them up for this thorn? Well, anyway, it was just a thought. Because if it's true, then I would think that those such as I who resist temptation have gained a place in Heaven far beyond the reach of most people. Amen |
