Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 CSB Weak, useless, unworthy are the whispered accusations that echo in my mind.

See, I can always seek the face of God like Peter when he first jumped off the boat to run to the Lord. Or I can foolishly choose to look at the waves. Worried.
