Thorn in the Flesh

We don't know what Pauls thorn in the flesh was, but we know that whatever it was helped him to depend on God more. It helped him to be more humble. We all have some type of "thorn in the flesh", but some are proud and boastful of it, other don't like to talk about it, while others use it to depend more on God. This could be physical, emotional, or spiritual. God's power is displayed in our weakness. We should recognize those weaknesses ("thorn in the flesh"), and learn to depend on God more. Our limitations not only help us to develop Christian character but should also deepen our worship, because admitting them we affirm God's strength. Do you know what your "thorn in the flesh" is? Are you using it for God's glory and not your own?
