Greetings sisters!
"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,"
2 Peter 1:2
Today I will share a few scripture passages to edify us all. (I was almost finished my post here when it somehow vanished so I'm starting over again:-).
I was sharing this passage...
"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:7-14
And I read this this morning...
"They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul."
Psalm 106:13-15
And we certainly don't want leanness in our souls! Let us be content with what the Lord has for us and rejoice in it.
I love this one...
"By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward."
Hebrews 11:24-26
There's so much about losing things here but gaining so much more in the world to come!
A sister and I were sharing....
Amen!
Kind, tenderhearted, forgiving!
"With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
Ephesians 4:2-3
Forbearing one another in love! Lowliness, meekness, long suffering, and peace. All good things for us to be striving for as sister saints.
Love...
"Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
1 Corinthians 13:7
"Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Romans 13:10
A sister sent this scripture picture...
And one picture of what I did a lot of today...
And the end of my day...
OK sisters I hope that could bless and edify you. Lord willing I shall be back tomorrow!
1 Timothy 6:11-12
Love in Christ,
...from one of God's daughters
