9 words

Here is what Paul says in his first letter to the followers of Jesus in Corinth...



1 Corinthians 15:58

So, my brothers & sisters, be strong & steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work,

for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.



...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.


...nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.



9 words that express an earthshaking thought, no matter the perspective or emphasis.


How many of us feel put on the shelf, clueless, insignificant, useless, unimportant, out of favor, forgotten?


Paul says something here that should bring us a ray of hope, if we're willing to believe it, even in the face of a life that seems to repudiate it.
