Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.

1 Corinthians 9:22-23 NLT

In this chapter of his letter Paul seems to be pushing back against some very personal criticism. 

And he's very clear here that the lens he wants to be seen through is that he's all about the gospel of Jesus and making Him known. 

I wonder what the lens is that I want to be seen through?

Yes we have work and businesses and farms and study and families and Christmas and ministry and well...life...

In all of this though, what is the lens that I would want to be seen through?

Comparing ourselves to Paul (or anyone else) is not helpful, but having an idea about our mission is. Some days for me it's as simple as loving the people in my path today. Others it's a bit more strategic. 

Paul was facing criticism and this was the lens he asked to be seen through. When I am criticised what lens would I like to be seen through?
