When we suffer, God comforts us and shows us mercy, so that we can be stronger and tougher, and in turn comfort others who are going through the same problems. vs 8 Now that I have seen with my eyes how some people in my church serve by stretching themselves so much for the gospel of God; putting aside their own comfort, sleep, food just to invest into the salvation of souls, I am able top grasp this verse more. When we are stretching ourselves ourselves that our flesh feels so squashed, we can know that it is God will deliver us. And we should rely on His strength. Pray pray pray! ANd give glory to God b/c he answers prayer. vS 12 this verse reminded me that when I am doing people ministry, i should treat them with sincerity and not as object of ministry. vs 20 The confident that the promises of God never fails! He sealed us with his own presence in our heart, and we are owned by him; guaranteeing the promises we have in Him. vs 15 We are fragrance to the ppl around! vs 17 we should always claim on to the freedom we have in Christ and not be in bondage of sin and the things of this world.
