Analysis/Best Verse::
2Ti 4.17 The Lord Stood by me & strengthened me

Luk 18.29 There's a reward here & in the kingdom. Context is important: in the world to which he'd come--these words were from a poor itinerant Carpenter; and, in the world to come, the same takes His place as King of Kings Lord of Lords. Maybe it's my interpretation -- but, I think the riches he'd spoke of here were of spirit.
Contract/Prayer:
Please help me remember my place as a follower & my purpose as a witness of your grace.
