Faithful.
Paul was quite faithful.
A messenger of forgiveness
and eternal life to all.
Set backs?
He had many.
Paul recalls,
5 times whipped, 39 lashes each time.
3 shipwrecks,
1 night and day at sea.
Pelted with stones.
Constantly on the move.
Danger in the city,
in the country,
at sea.
Danger from rivers, bandits,
and false believers.
He labored and toiled.
Went without sleep and food.
Knew hunger and thirst.
Was cold and naked.
(2 Corinthians 11:24-27
paraphrased)
"So this is Christmas
And what have you done?"
(John Lennon)
God Almighty
