2 Corinthians 1, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #116: GOODBYE'S

PASSAGE:  The God of All Comfort, Paul's Change of Plans

MEMORY VERSE: "He must become greater; I must become less" John 3:30

NOTES: (v.3-4) "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God" (just like 1 John 4:19!)
(v.7) "And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort"
(v.9) "Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead."
(v.12) "Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace."
(v.20) "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "yes" in Christ. And so through him the "amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God."

ACT OF LOVE: Today was my friend Agatha's last day in California before she left for Cornell :( I've known her ever since middle school, and she's been in my small group since Freshman year. Agatha has grown to be one of my closest friends, so she'll definitely be missed here in SoCal! 
My acts of love:
-Started writing a letter to her so that she'll be able to get it once she moves in!
-Surprised her at her house with Patricia, Allen, and Theodore about half an hour before she left for the airport. We talked for a bit and shared our last goodbyes :(


ALSO, my friend texted me asking me to pray for her, and so I called her right then & there to pray for her over the phone!
