2 Corinthians 6

We live in such a way that

no one will stumble because

of us, and no one will 

find fault with our 

ministry. 

2 Corinthians 6:3

We prove ourselves by our purity,

our understanding, our 

patience, our kindness, 

by the Holy Spirit within us,

and by our sincere love. 

2 Corinthians 6:6

We serve God whether people

honor us or despise us, whether

they slander us or praise us. 

We are ignored, even though

we are well known. We live 

close to death, but we are

still alive. We have been

beaten, but we have not been

killed. Our hearts ache, but

we always have joy. We are 

poor, but we give spiritual 

riches to others. We own 

nothing, yet we have

everything. 

2 Corinthians 6: 8-10

These few verses seemed like a wonderful reminder to me :)
