AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:10 So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God's strength]. |
Bible Question (short): Don't you just love him? |
Question (full): Do I love him? Yes, I do. Do I love you? You didn’t ask, but I don't mind saying it, and I trust I don't get you into trouble for saying it. I do. You are wonderful, and I trust that your contribution will be a help to many. Just so you know I hear you, I think you said we should keep our eyes on the big picture. We should work to resolve the complaint. Also, we should keep our eyes on Jesus. This last one reminded me of a passage in Hebrews: Let us run the race, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Now I wonder how others cope. Do they feel justified in closing shop or staying out? And what of those who fight fire with fire? I would like more contributions for myself and for those I serve. Are there any other overcomers on this forum? |
