English Standard Version
What would you go through to advance the Gospel? And what kind of faith does it take to view whatever that is as a blessing because it advances the Gospel?
Paul had incredible perspective -- he was able to endure great suffering because he placed such value upon the Gospel. The beauty and treasure of the Gospel were so great to hold in his heart that anything that happened in this world was trivial. The greatest suffering, the utmost isolation, the ultimate pain... paled in comparison to the Gospel. It's a treasure beyond measure, one to share freely, at whatever cost.
May we pray for forgiveness for not loving God enough, and pray for Holy Spirit wisdom to treasure the Gospel like this!
