Truth

1. Love one another
2. Forgive and Pray for your enemies
3. For nothing is impossible with God


*Failures and mistakes can be important values and lessons (teachers that provide us with invaluable lessons!!)
*v2 can claim the promise when failing relationships.
Paul says never give up

1. Paul's "I can" applies to your relationship/attitude/contentment

2. God's plan includes our handicaps
*there are those handicaps that we will deal with our entire lives
*God's plan includes our handicaps for in them we are corrected and we grow
*Its amazing that you can do what you can't do
*challenge to own the word of God in your heart
*not every prayer will be a yes from the Lord
*Paul thought that being free from his problem would make him a better Christian
*but just the opposite was true
*submitting to the Lord's will was the better choice

3. Applying the truth "I can do all things"
*many people hurting and who needs love
*his grace is enough for you
*when you are weak, then he is strong
*when you have a "thorn". cherish it because it drives you to the saviour
*You many not know the future/or see the light, because you are not God
*applying this truth is not easy, but we must own the truth

Conclusion
*How many times have we wished life had a fast forward button that we could use to get through the tough times quickly.
