I wonder and am confused by this verse.
2 Corinthians 6:10 ESV
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
I have seen people go through pain yet being strengthened in Christ, I am not like that. God is with us in our sorrows. In my mind I know this.
In the verse Paul is speaking of not only himself but others in the ministry
2 Corinthians 6:4-10 ESV
but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; [6] by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
They are persecuted and thought badly of. Yet in Christ they have all they need. Joy is there in the midst of trial.
May God grant me to hold fast to Him in the midst of struggle.
