These are the verses that stood out to me :
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
I think we often need a reminder that our labor/work for The Lord is not in vain. When we don't see immediate change or feeling immediate satisfaction it can be hard to keep pressing but we have to remember that if we are following His word and acting in love that we are pleasing God and goodness will flow from that. We may not reap the fruits if our labor but we can be like Paul and plant the seed or be like Apllos and water the seed - either way, God will provide the growth, whatever that growth maybe. We just need faith and to remember its a process and good things come to those who work and wait and remain faithful and steadfast in The Lord our savior.
We all are victorious and blessed and highly favored and we serve an awesome God who loved us enough to sacrifice his only son and the raise him from the dead with all power in him hand - my my my, ain't God good?!?! What love !!?? It's mins blowing if you really think about it - agape
