In 2 Cor 12:2-10 St. Paul writes of "a certain person," i.e., himself, who was "caught up in Paradise...." and received revelations of "surpassing excellence." Then God gave him a thorn in the flesh lest he boast of such revelations. Also, presumably lest his personal charm be the reason people believed his Gospel.
I also thank God for gifts of unutterable delights that are impossible to put into words. I'm so lucky. Today in church when I heard this passage I thought maybe that is why I feel so thorny.
