In the twenty-fourth chapter of the book of Acts, Paul describes the many tears and trials which happened to him because of the Jews who plotted against him. However, he never softened the message or shied away from the truth that people needed to hear. Here’s what we read.
Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Many a time I’ve been moved by the pressure of ministry and lost my joy, for which I am truly sorry. I want to do my best with the help of the Holy Spirit not to do that again. How about you?
Give it some thought.
