2 Corinthians 12:7b-9

...There was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

v.8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

v.9 And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Dearly beloved of God, I write unto you in this hour to confirm that we must, through much tribulation, enter into the fullness of the Kingdom of God; into the heights, breadths, widths, and depths of God; becoming that perfect creation manifesting the express image of His person in light. There are many thorns before the blossoming of the beautiful rose, meaning there are many painful and irritating challenges that we must go through but God's grace (his unmerited favor) is sufficient for us. When our lives are in alignment with the Word and Will of God, we will blossom in desert situations and waters will spring forth. Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord!

God Bless You,
Bishop Tate
