“Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
tribulations for you, which is your glory.” Eph
3:13
Amazing,
Like Christ prayer while on the cross “Father
forgive them they know not what they do”, Paul’s prayer “faint not” was for the church, and not
his own during his suffering. Paul’s
suffering of imprisonment was caused by him sharing the gospel, yet without his
suffering Ephesus would not have heard the salvation message. Just as a mother
endures the pain of childbirth in order to bring new life into the world, Paul
endured the pain of persecution in order to bring new believers to Christ. Never grow weary in facing tribulation to
help others see the beauty of Christ. The
stars shine the brightest the darker it gets, grow weary and sleep you’ll miss
the beauty. The moment your ready to quit
is often the moment right before the miracles occur, don’t faint!
Do
you want to be churched or do want to be the church!
