Epitaph for 2007


"For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him."


This would make a good epitaph for 2007, in my opinion. What will be the one for 2008?

Lord, this year continue to help me to learn how suffering can be a gift, for Jesus' sake. I confess I've been pretty thick headed and slow to do what I can to relieve the suffering of others around me. Please fill me with your hope in 2008, so that I might do a better job of this, and be more eager to receive all that you have in store for me
...for what I want is to want nothing less than You.
