2 Corinthians 6:1-10
An ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE is important
Suffering is expected
Joy and Sorrow exist simultaneously,
and in tension
2 Corinthians 6:9-10
Philppians 4:4
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Keep the proper perspective
Rejoice in the Big Picture
Accept the sorrow
It’s BOTH: spiritual maturity is holding both joy and sorrow at the same time
