βCompanions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please donβt squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us. God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped. Donβt put it off; donβt frustrate Godβs work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything weβre doing. Our work as Godβs servants gets validatedβor notβin the details. People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly... in hard times, tough times, bad times; when weβre beaten up, jailed, and mobbed; working hard, working late, working without eating; with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness, and honest love; when weβre telling the truth, and when Godβs showing his power; when weβre doing our best setting things right; when weβre praised, and when weβre blamed; slandered, and honored; true to our word, though distrusted; ignored by the world, but recognized by God; terrifically alive, though rumored to be dead; beaten within an inch of our lives, but refusing to die; immersed in tears, yet always filled with deep joy; living on handouts, yet enriching many; having nothing, having it all.β ββ2 Corinthiansβ¬ β6:1-10β¬ βMSGβ¬β¬ http://bible.com/97/2co.6.1-10.msg #scriptureoftheday #readthebibledaily #themessagebible #youversionbibleapp #weendure #happysunday #someoneiswatchingmyhouse (at Elkton, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqmZr8tBlbM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v6ttnj176bj1
