Made Visible in Us

2 Corinthians 4:7-10 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) 7  But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.   8  We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;   9  persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies.

All We Need

2 Corinthians 12:9 New Living Translation (NLT) 9  Each time he said,  “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”  So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

All My Confidence

"I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in Him." - Francois Rabelais

A Straight Path

Hebrews 12:12-13 New Living Translation (NLT) 12  So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees.   13  Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

His Future

1 Corinthians 2:9 New Living Translation (NLT) 9    ...No eye has seen, no ear has heard,      and no mind has imagined what God has prepared      for those who love him.

Hope and Wait

Lamentations 3:22-26 New King James Version (NKJV) 22  Through  the  Lord ’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. 23  They are  new every morning; Great  is  Your faithfulness. 24  “The  Lord   is  my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” 25  The  Lord   is  good to those who wait for Him, To the soul  who  seeks Him. 26  It is  good that  one  should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the  Lord .
