I definitely relate to the Apostle Paul quite bit. Not only because of all the things he faced during his ministry, but also because of his dramatic transformation from unbeliever in the Messiah to fervent follower of The Christ. I'm spending time this weekend meditating in the two chapters you referenced. Thank you for your service on behalf of the Lord and your heart for seeing those in ministry endure to keep fighting the good fight of faith! Pastor Ron, thanks for your prayer & encouragement!

Thank you for your service on behalf of the Lord and your heart for seeing those in ministry endure to keep fighting the good fight of faith!

I'll pray for you. You wrote a great post here. The work of Christ's ambassadors is a constant battle between triumph and tragedy sometimes, especially since we carry the burdens of others as well as our own. You might read Paul's account in 2 Cor 1 or Elijah's account in 1 Kings 19. Two great men of God who battled the other side of wonderful. Stand strong! Thanks Dave. I’ll pray for you.
