The Apostle Paul was an extraordinary man who took extraordinary actions. Perhaps many at that time thought that he was out of his mind. Truth was, Paul’s love of God drove his actions and led him to lead an amazing life. He cared little about those who thought he was a fool.
Lord, God, I long to be moved by Your love and to put my love for You above how others think of me.
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.—Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
