The other day I was shredding some documents and it reminded me of an event that happened last year in New York called “Good Riddance Day.” People were encouraged to bring their remembrances of bad experiences and bad memories suffered throughout the year to Times Square and either shred or destroy them that day. Some people brought their bank statements; others brought cardboard signs that said “cancer” or “stock market.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just say good riddance and shred our bad memories to be absent from our lives forever? I think the Apostle Paul could have used and industrial size shredder according to his account in 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10. But God said to him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
You see, God didn’t take away the problem. Instead, He gave Paul the grace to live with it and He will do the same for you today.
