Something New
Sometimes change is not up to us. Sometimes things don’t change. This is the cold hard truth. We can’t control the decisions that others make, but we can control how we respond.
Paul
- maintained his innocence.
- continued to minister to others.
- remained faithful to God.
- kept proclaiming the gospel.
Something to Do
Respond rightly in all situations. Trust God for the outcome. (So easy to write, so hard to live out.)
