1) We want to prove ourselves genuine servants of God, whatever we have to go through...
patient endurance of troubles or even disasters
being flogged or imprisoned; being mobbed
having to work like slaves
having to go without food or sleep
All this we want to face with sincerity...
with insight and patience
by sheer kindness and the Holy Spirit
with genuine love, speaking the plain truth
living by the power of God 2 Cor 6.4-10, Phillips translation -- Our sole defense, our only weapon, is a life of integrity, whether we meet honor or dishonor, praise or blame...
called "imposters," we must be true
called "nobodies," we must be in the public eye
Never far from death. Yet here we are -- ALIVE!
always going "through it" yet never "going under" We know sorrow, yet our joy is inextinguishable.
We have nothing to bless ourselves with, yet we bless many others with true riches.
We are penniless. Yet - in reality - we have everything worth having! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE: Prayer for Charlie they postponed his biospy for his lung until 8/21/07 simply because of a cold that he has of which my beloved has now given me. I'm sorry that I just now felt like getting on the net so a few minutes before I go back to bed myself. Please keep him in your prayers. I want to Thank each of You for praying for him in advance.
