Think Of This
“We are laborers together with
God.” 1 Cor. 3:9
When we began to think in the
terms of building a business /of
some kind, we usually start Iqbk-
ing for a partner to help U& hi
the work that We are planning-To
do. Is business more important
than life? The Lord Jesus put a
great deal of: emphasis on life. One
of his stated purposes was “that
you might have life, and have it
more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Considering this fact, is it not only
sensible that we should have a
partner in the job of living? Can
you think of a better one than the
Lord who said “I will be with you
always, even unto the end of the
world.?” i . ;i / i.
