The Apostle Paul said about the thorn in the flesh. And he want God's offer. He pray to God that the thorn in his flesh to be removed. I'll give, I'll be able to serve God, but he received an answer, "My grace is sufficient for you. The grace of God is strong enough, that grace must be accepted and taken. The grace of God it must be recognized and we must know, without it we would not be able to do anything. Paul also said: "God does not let himself mocked", our loving heavenly Father, He likes to forgive, but we can not play with God. As children of God, we want to pay attention to this warning, do not be fooled! It says clearly that a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Everything we do, we think, we hold to have consequences. If we want to experience a lot of harvest, we must sow the seeds of many of them. From where do we get the seed? Many seeds that we get from our faith. That's the first thing we want to sow, not doubts. We want to sow hope, love and we will also sow a lot of these things.
