A message for me

I won't often post scripture in my blog, but yesterday's 1st reading is still not leaving me alone.  There must be a message in it for me.  I'm still looking for the exact message.

2 Corinthians 6:1-8
Working together, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
For he says: "In an acceptable time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We cause no one to stumble in anything, in order that no fault may be found with our ministry; on the contrary, in everything we commend ourselves as ministers of God, through much endurance, in afflictions, hardships, constraints,beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, vigils, fasts; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in a holy spirit, in unfeigned love,in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left;through glory and dishonor, insult and praise. We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful; as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live; as chastised and yet not put to death;as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
