Great post SC!! GW 🙂
“The truth of the matter is that the whole world has already been turned
upside down by the work of Jesus Christ”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
(Lady Banks roses / Julie Cook / 2021)
“[Saint] Paul understood that the suffering he was going through somehow allowed him
to share in Christ’s suffering for the world…
In his own life, there was a time when he asked the Lord three times to remove a
particular suffering from him (see 2 Corinthians 12:8).
The response he received from the Lord was not “Oh, my oversight.
That’s right, I took care of all that suffering.
You don’t have to do anything.”
No, God’s response was, “[Paul], my grace is sufficient for you,
for power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9)…
It is completely opposite of the way the world thinks…
What looked like the worst thing that ever happened…
