This COVID thing just seems to go on and on. We can’t let it break us, though. Paul wrote about the strength that is renewed after overcoming a difficult time. In II Cor. 2:11 he described six attributes that came out of his suffering and that of his followers in the early church: strength of spirit, more courage to face the future, more sensitive to perils, more gratitude for God, more zeal to move forward, and a greater desire to take personal responsibility. It may seem hard to grasp what Paul was saying, but how much more we could progress if we could. We can overcome!
