Acts 13:44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.
46Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
" 'I have made you[f] a light for the Gentiles,
that you[g] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'[h]"
48When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
I have nothing to add to this. Lord - don't let me become cast aside: do not let me reject your message. I know I can do that by my life, even if my words differ from my actions. Amen.

We deeply love them all, and pray that we did the best job we could while we had the chance.
