The important thing is that in
every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because
of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that
through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has
happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and
hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that
now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living
in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I
do not know!
I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with
Christ, which is better by far, but it is more necessary for you that I
remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will
continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that
through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on
account of me.
Philippians 1:18-26
Nice pictures and nice bible verse: Thanks for sharing. We have a wonderful God:)
ReplyDeleteGood capture. The shadowed foreground of the fisherman is an artistic touch.
