Paul's testimony is found in I Thessalonians 2:2–10. The summary of Paul's testimony is the same as ours.
The people of Thessalonica were under attack from their own people, but they stood strong, and their steadfast faith was an encouragement to all who knew them.
Through it ALL–STAND STRONG!
Addendum: 10/18/16 ~ God uses people to get HIS message out. God used Paul and the other writers of the Bible to tell HIS story. God used Jane to teach us HIS truths and promises by using scripture. And now we know the way God wants us to tell our story of HIS faithfulness—HIS very own words from Genesis to Revelations recorded while I was reading and writing my personal thoughts in my journals. Amazing.
LORD – What Am I to Do?;

I Didn't Know—BUT GOD DID!!

Paul's testimony is found in I Thessalonians 2:2–10. The summary of Paul's testimony is the same as ours.
Our God helped us to be brave. We were insulted and people were against us. But! God helped us to be brave. We went through the fire. God tested us. But in the end, God trusted us to tell His story. We have no ulterior motives, no selfish desires, no wish for monetary gain, no desire for human praise. God's story has nothing to do with us—and it has everything to do with HIM. We've lived our lives in a right and honest way. People who know us, KNOW this. God knows our hearts and He knows we have clean hands.God used Paul to get out His message. The people understood that while the words were coming from Paul's lips, it was actually the word of God. It was God's message for those who believed. God used Jane in the same way. He used Jane's lips to give us His message—scripture—the very words of God.
The people of Thessalonica were under attack from their own people, but they stood strong, and their steadfast faith was an encouragement to all who knew them.
"...While we have much trouble and suffering, we are encouraged about you because of your faith. Our life is really full if you stand strong in the Lord. We have so much joy before our God because of you. We cannot thank him enough for all the joy we feel." I Thessalonians 3:7–9God uses ALL things to bring about His will. No matter what your circumstance, you can have God-given joy, even if the journey you are on takes you through the fire.
Through it ALL–STAND STRONG!
