Summary
In my first call, there was a person who, when you would ask him, how are you, he would give a meteorological answer every single time, every single time. When the stormy times come in our lives, sometimes phrases or statements around it can be phrases like, this is hard, or it's just not too much fun these days, or I really wish things would change. He called a child whom he put among them and said, truly, I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus says, whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Like Jesus said, he will never give me more than I can handle with the picture of humility and dependency. In danger, from rivers, danger, from bandits, danger from my own people, danger from gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers and sisters, in toil and hardship through many a sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked, and beside other things, I am under daily pressure because of my anxiety for all the churches.
