† “The lamp of the body is ..."

Saint Paul says:
"And apart from these things, there is the daily pressure upon me
of my anxiety for all the churches.
Who is weak, and I am not weak?
Who is led to sin, and I am not indignant?"
We are all facing weaknesses, but Saint Paul says to be strong, for our weakness can make us strong...if only we remain, and return to the Lord. Is a beat up saint worth anything to you? To me? Saint Paul says "Come On!". Like Christ. He is possessed by Christ, and says basically "You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:

"My son, do not despise the [c]chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6
For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives." Hebrews 12.
