I know its a long video but its so good. watch it if you have time. What hit me the most is listed below. I'm only half way through but I felt like i really needed to share this.
2 corinthans 6: 3 We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. 4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; 5 in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; 6 in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; 7 in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 8 through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; 9 known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. 12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. 13 As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.
So Lately there has been a lot going on in my life and the options are to walk away or to continue to push though. Some times it might feel right to just cave and walk away but I'm gonna follow Gods plan and persevere when things get tough. I'm going to trust with I feel week, and Follow the Holy Spirit where ever He leads.... and right now that means enduring through and Living this life as Christ did, and as Paul did after him, Through sleepless nights through sorrow and pain, we endure so that Gospel might be shown credible. So that i might live out the charge Paul gave to Timothy "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:2" In hope that the Gospel might Change the hearts and minds of those around me, starting first and for most with myself.
Center everything on Christ, the Gospel and let the Holy spirit move :)
