Thanks Arc, blessings back to you and all the brethren. That was very encouraging and inspiring.
I'm know when you say "all" you mean ALL.
I was reminded of a statement you made a few months back, and it was something like any one of us being called has just as much chance of being saved as anyone else here, even the quiet ones who do not say much, but still drink the same spiritual Drink. That is not word for word what you said, but this is what I got out of it. Thank you Arc.
1Co 12:20 As it is, there are many members, yet one body.
1Co 12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
1Co 12:22 On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
1Co 12:23 and those members of the body that we think less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect;
1Co 12:24 whereas our more respectable members do not need this. But God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member,
1Co 12:25 that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another.
2Co 8:13 I do not mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair balance between
2Co 8:14 your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may be for your need, in order that there may be a fair balance.
2Co 8:15 As it is written,
"The one who had much did not have too much, and the one who had little did not have too little." (Exo 16:18)
Ray wasn't kidding when he said the Apostle Paul was an "spiritual giant".
You have helped me so much lately, and your love ( which God gave you), which you have voluntarily shared with and for ALL the Brethren is obvious. I'm humbled to have shared in The Manna from Heaven with you and all.
Peace,
