Self Preservation Is What Sets Us Up to Hurt

We hurt and harm others in an attempt to preserve ourselve. We have to, we have to look at that and ultimately forgive. I had the opportunity, years ago, without getting into detail, id idto harm somebody. And years after, iad sood a harm them, i owed them an amend. But how often does god use our wounds? Saint paul has this thorn in the flesh, and he asks god to remove it. And god doesn't remove it. He uses our wound as part of his healing and salvific mission.
