My own thorn...... Though I try to encourage others it is the hardest thing for me to do to encourage myself except to recognize and be glad when I encourage someone else. Perhaps the evil one has me in his grip in this and perhaps you might pray for me but when I even try to think that I love myself my mind and thoughts seem to twist like in a cursed vortex and though I try to say or think it, it does not come out the other end. I wish I was released from this. You who encourage me and tell me I am worth something give me such a special gift and I love you for it. I have prayed so many times that the Lord free me to like myself just for myself but I am not yet free to do that. My heart whispers that perhaps it is to keep me from becoming conceited, to keep me weak because when I am week the Lord is strong; that the grace the Lord grants me when I encourage others should be sufficient for me. But it is a thorn I wish I was rid of.
