What we don’t know is quite phenomenal. Did Paul ever know why his thorn couldn’t have been removed and still leave him to do greater works? I think his calling was entirely fulfilled, as can be said for most sincere followers of Jesus. We can imagine what we could do with more money, better health, etc., but that’s a bottom-up approach. A better approach? Get a good, clear glimpse of Jesus and then hold onto it for dear life because that’s when life really becomes dear, healings happen, just the right funds for just the right purposes … happen.
