2 Corinthians 4.7-10

I am pressed-in with troubles on every side. I have suffered embarrassments, public failure.
But I am not crushed.
I am perplexed, unable to find my own way out.
But I am not in despair.
I am persecuted, the enemy has been hunting me down.
But I am not abandoned by God. Never once have I ever walked alone {singing!}.
I’ve been struck down, knocked flat over.
But I have not been destroyed, nor broken beyond repair.
We can sum it thus:
I am not crushed. I am not in despair. I am not abandoned. I have never walked alone. I have not been destroyed. I am repairable.
This is good news. And the rock-solid Word of the Lord!
