God's Servants

The Christian life comes with blessings and battles. You can’t have one without the other. Paul describes it this way: “In everything and in every way we show that we truly are God’s servants. We have always been patient. though we have had a lot of trouble, suffering, and hard times. We have been beaten, put in jail, and hurt in riots. We have worked hard and gone without sleep or food. But we have kept ourselves pure and have been understanding, patient, and kind.
