24 I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church. 25 God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his entire message to you. 26 This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now it has been revealed to God’s people. 27 For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
28 So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. 29 That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me.

Our priorities have suddenly switched massively. Just like the scripture we read recently about the secret to being content, we now realize what really matters in this life.
Life's hard. I will suffer. But I have the Holy Spirit, the righteousness of Christ, the love of the Father all there for me when I do. And when I think about that, it's all that matters.
This is a message that needs to be spread. A message that gives freedom and hope and everything you could ever need. And you hold it right in your hands.
What will you do with it?

Please keep all comments respectful. We want to remember that each of us is at a different place in our walk with God. This is a place for us to share openly about what has been revealed to us as we open up Gods word and to learn from others. Please take every opportunity possible to build each other up in love :-)
