This one really made me think. 🤔 I love how this quote challenges me to reflect on my own life and decisions. It’s not just motivational—it’s thought-provoking.

2 Corinthians 4:7-10 – "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."

Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many."

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever."

Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified."

Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate."

For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
