Episode 94
A saying I used to hear a lot growing up is “Thorn in my side” or “Pain in my side”
If you have never heard it or not sure what it means it’s just a saying to refer to something or someone who is annoying, frustrating, trouble, painful, etc. I think most people use it to refer to someone – Such and such person is a “thorn in my side” or “pain in my side!”
But sometimes it stuff – maybe it’s literally a physical condition that you live with that is constantly bothering you, annoying you, giving you frustrations, or pain – mental, physical, emotional, etc.
Sometimes we have “pains” that are very short lived and don’t last long. Others we might have for our entire lives!
Well guess what…that saying originates from the Bible. Paul referred to a thorn in his flesh.
2 Cor 12:7
7 I will say this: because these experiences I had were so tremendous, God was afraid I might be puffed up by them; so I was given a physical condition which has been a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to hurt and bother me and prick my pride. (TLB)
We all have thorns! Some short lived and others for life but it doesn't mean that God doesn't love you nor does it mean He loves you less than those around you!
