But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:24 KJV
But that matters little. What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God.
Acts 20:24 MSG

Thank you, Lord.
Totally off topic.
In Luke 24, when the Emmaus Disciples return to Jerusalem, it is said that Simon had seen Jesus.
When did that happen?
Sometimes running the course is so difficult, let alone with joy.
Good words to live with/by!
Linda, amen.
TB, that's true. But since He commanded us to try, that means it's doable. We won't always succeed, since we're human, of course; but we must continue trying.
NFO, thank you.
Ed - Simon's encounter with Jesus is not otherwise recorded. But since everything in chapter 24 happened on that same Sunday, it was clearly at some point that day.
