The English language is full of puns!
1. I think of St. Joseph and his saw – Protector

2. I think of the old proverb from the Eastern culture about not using your saw until it dulls the blade. Saw then rest. Saw then rest. Know that each movement produces fruit because when you are at the Summit of who God made you to be that is the reality.
3. I saw through it all. The fake words. The masks. I know what real love is, real connection is and I have yet to meet anyone besides my little brother that has shown that.

4. I bought the pearl. God sent me on a massive journey to preserve it. It’s not unbroken, unspoken and the unimaginable bliss of this quest unfolds tonight and forevermore. Truth be told in all ways and always. Truth be told by all sources and at all times. That’s the power of knowing and loving God. That’s the power of walking with the Creator. That’s the reward for picking up the cross and following Christ. That’s the reward for losing your life and finding what actually matters. Truth be told on all counts and in every connection. People will now be held before speaking. People will now be held before thinking. People will now be held before writing. People will now be held before moving.

God’s Hand. His Royal Flush. Watch Him Work, in Christ Jesus always, amen.

“2 Corinthians 6

New International Version

As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says,

“In the time of my favor I heard you,
    and in the day of salvation I helped you.”[a]

I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

Paul’s Hardships

We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on;beaten, and yet not killed; 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich;having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. 12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. 13 As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.

Warning Against Idolatry

14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them
    and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.”[c]

17 Therefore,

“Come out from them
    and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
    and I will receive you.”[d]

18 And,

“I will be a Father to you,
    and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.”[e]
