We have a wonderful God who does not set before us tasks which are impossible to achieve, but allows us to achieve them when we cooperate with His grace. It also reminds us, especially when we fail, that we cannot achieve it without God's grace. Peace, Daniel Hi Cheryl,

That lawyers are unjust? In your sharing, what striked me was "our main purpose of our existence is not to have a happy existence on earth, good as it may be, but to cooperate with God’s grace" - it is a clear reminder for me to pursue the right things while here on earth, but it is so hard with worldly temptations attacking from all directions! I can only do it with God's grace and so I pray. Thank you. AMEN! This line in Cor: “the people you appointed to try them were not even respected in the Church” – what does this mean?
