“I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit. Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you? I urged Titus to go, and sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?”‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:15-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because I often take for granted the very people I love and appreciate the most. My parents would and will do anything for me, but yet I feel entitled to their love sometimes. The same with my wife, kids and good friends. What a blessing God has given us in these relationships with people who truly care for us and want the best for us. Do we feel entitled to God’s love? Do we feel entitled to our preacher bringing God’s Word to us? Please pray that we and our friends appreciate and thank the people who care enough about us to speak Christ into our lives today(Thank you Mom and Dad for introducing me to Christ!). Please pray for the CLC Prayer and fundraising breakfast with Bill Curry on 2/18.
