Struck down but not destoryed

I want to hide in a corner and cry... but I cannot. There's too much riding on my shoulders. I want to running into the arms of a warm embrace... but I cannot stay there. I have to stand up and press on.

NIV 2 Corinthians 4:8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

I must admit the uncertainties of the pass few days are slowly chipping away at me. Yet, I still feel the gracious hand of God on my back reassuring me as I walk. And also as I continue to serve in His ministry. I need to be focused when my congregation calls me and messages me in the middle of the night in distress. I need to be in tune to the Spirit's prompting. So that the resurrected life of Jesus can be at work.

NIV 2 Corinthians 4:10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

I was reassuring to get into my car this morning are at the very moment a Delirious? song from playing on CD:

Every Little Thing

Everything must change
There’s a mirror showing me the ugly truth
These bones they ache with holy fire
But I’ve got nothing to give, just a life to live
If your world is without colour
I will carry you, if you carry me

Every little thing’s gonna be alright
Every little thing’s gonna be alright [x2]

There’s no-one else to blame
I live my life between the fire and the flame
I’ve built my house where the ocean meets the land
It’s time to live again, pull my dreams out of the sand
Let your world be full of colour
I will carry you, if you carry me

When it’s all falling down on you
You’re crying out but you’re breaking in two
When it’s all crashing down on you
When there’s nothing you can do
There is someone who can carry you
