In everything we do,
in our troubles, difficulties and hardships
we show we are God’s servants.
New Testament Reading - Visions of the Lord
1 This boasting is all so foolish, but let me go on. Let me tell about the visions I've had, and revelations from the Lord.
2-3Fourteen years ago Ia was taken up to heaven* for a visit. Don't ask me whether my body was there or just my spirit, for I don't know; only God can answer that. But anyway, there I was in paradise, 4and heard things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am not allowed to tell them to others). 5That experience is something worth bragging about, but I am not going to do it. I am going to boast only about how weak I am and how great God is to use such weakness for his glory. 6I have plenty to boast about and would be no fool in doing it, but I don't want anyone to think more highly of me than he should from what he can actually see in my life and my message.
. . . . . 2 Corinthians 12:1-6a- I, literally, 'man in Christ.' *Literally, 'the third heaven.'
