Loving greetings from a sister in Australia,
Praise God for quickening us...
"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:"
(Ephesians 2:6)
I hope and pray you are all doing well and standing strong in the Lord. Whether you are reading this now or in ten years time (if God gives us that) may the Lord be your focus and your joy and strength. I know it can be easy to lose some eternal focus when we are immersed in the little things and busyness of everyday life. But I hope this blog can help remind us all of things above and how we as women can keep pressing forward even while going about the womanly duties that we have.
We all have different lives to live and we don't know what the Lord will do in the future for each of us but those in Christ are one in unity and love.
"For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
(Colossians 2:1-3)
"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:35)
I've heard of all kinds of damage done by claimed believers particularly women who gossip, speak evil of one another, and have envy and strife. It ought not to be so among God's true holy women. Yes that doesn't mean we are soft on sin, but we don't resort to fleshly actions of those things. Doesn't Proverbs say pride is the cause of contention? And that ought not to be named among us saints...but instead...
"She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness."
(Proverbs 31:26)
We are even to bless those who curse us and love and do good to our enemies. How much more ought we to have love for the true sisters in Christ; those who are purchased with Christ's precious blood and who also love the Lord? Of course we love God first, but this side of heaven we may have each other and perhaps it helps reminds us of the future hope we have of all gathering to Christ.
We truly don't know what a day may bring. I posted the other day about the blessings of being able to work. Well I thought that that was ironic as I felt that way today after I tripped down the stairs and hurt my foot. When life is busy and there are needs and babies to help take care of and you can't really do much, it gives you a feeling of helplessness and even makes you feel lazy. But my family is good to me and tells me to rest...even though I'm like "I can keep going and do a bit". Hopefully, Lord willing, I can get back to serving soon...instead of being the one being served.
Anyway, have a blessed day all you sisters who may be reading this...or ever will.
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."
(Psalm 100:4-5)
Love to the saints who are striving on in this evil generation.
