DON’T LOSE HEART

“WE DO NOT LOSE HEART!” This was Paul’s confession In the midst of "afflictions, hardships, distresses, beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, sleeplessness and hunger" (2 Corinthians 6:4-10, 16-18; 11:23-29; and 12:10).

What are you going through, dear mother? Perhaps a few sleepless nights. Maybe you are upset because of negative words that have been said to you. Or everything suddenly seems so overwhelming. Your circumstances seem “like the end of the world, “but dear mother, we know little of real hardships. We are not being persecuted like millions of fellow believers across the world. We are not experiencing beatings, imprisonment, and hunger as Paul was. But he didn’t lose heart.
