"You're going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They'll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. But you—keep your eye on what you're doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God's servant. " 2Timothy 4:3-5 (Message)
I really like how the Message puts this verse. Paul was instructing Timothy about his ministry... that there would be times that were hard.... what matters is how you act and react through it all. This past weekend was one of happiness and saddness.... I just pray that I have acted and reacted in such a way that Christ was and is being reflected to those around me.
