Hi David, I would offer this as an answer to your plea here and in the prayer room. God always answers prayer. Much of the time we don't get the answer we want, and presume that He is not listening. Believe that He IS listening. As you stated in the Prayer Room, His answer to you was "No!", but it WAS an answer. Remember that Paul prayed that the "thorn in the flesh" be removed from him. We are not certain what that thorn was, but we DO know that God chose to leave it there, for whatever reason, perhaps so that Paul would not become too exalted in the flesh. Boylove is an enigma, a blessing as well as a curse. If we choose to channel it properly, we can magnify the blessing, and minimize the curse, but for most of us, as with you, God chooses to leave it there, in answer, however we choose to receive it, to our prayer. I hope this is a help to you. God's love, peace, mercy and grace to you. Andy |
