God Has a Better Plan

Romans 1:11-15  For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established-- 12  that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 13  Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 14  I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. 15  So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10  Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9  And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
