Good day sisters!
How are you?
I was working on another post but didn't quite get it done so I wanted to do a smaller one here. There's only so much we can do and we have to be OK with that and not worry about it. We have to make sure the most important things are in place in our lives first.
But so I wanted to share a few little things to edify and encourage you today sisters!
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
2 Corinthians 6:1-10
I just thought of this verse from that passage...
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
And so I shared the whole passage. Again we see some of the great hardship those gone before us went through as well.
But that verse reminds me of all the other scriptures about being blameless.
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Philippians 2:15
