Take courage

2 Corinthians 4:1-12

This time round I seem to be finding much more encouragement from Paul than I usually do. My normal attitude to Paul is that he is just a little bit pompous. Today it struck me how much Paul was on the verge of depression. Nothing seems to be quite right. He does not have the universal recognition that he thinks he deserves. He has been beaten and criticised. Yet he carries on because he is convinced he is following the path God has planned for him.
I feel like that too. I write and I work, for what? God knows.
