In each and every situation I have learned the secret of being full and of going hungry, of having too much and of having too little. read more.

I have been paid in full and have more than enough. I am fully supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus what you sent a fragrant aroma, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.
