After having reminded the Christians of Corinth of some of the
wonderful blessings which God's children possess, St. Paul tells them

Christian friends, have you grown tired in your service for God? Have you become so discouraged that you're tempted to "throw in the towel"? Let us remember God's promise spoken by Paul: Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" Galatians 6:9
The service that we give to Christ,
If steadfast we will be,
Is sure to reap a rich reward
That someday we will see.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Failure is not defeat unless you stop trying.
