Greetings sister saints!
Today sisters, I wanted to reach out with some encouragement! Encouragement to press on and not grow weary or discouraged!
It's a short post but packed full of edifying scriptures.
We all will have times when we regret doing something or not doing something and we may be devastated that we did or didn't do something. But I want to encourage you to not give up but keep pressing on to do better.
We know we have a merciful and forgiving God when we repent!
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
And we know that He knows our hearts! We must keep going and not be weakened by fighting against our own weaknesses, flesh, or sin.
And in these earthly bodies yes we can be physically exhausted which also affects our spirits. It helps to be reminded that we will not dwell in these earthly tabernacles for ever.
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Corinthians 5:1
We're blessed with the testimony of Paul and other faithful saints that have gone before us who suffered much! (Just read 2 Corinthians 11 for some of that.)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
We know we will most likely be hated or disliked by our life and godly witness to others and for speaking the truth to them. But let's remember sisters that what we get, eternal life with the Father and all His saints for all eternity and losing the friends and family for a short time here is really nothing. We have so much to remind ourselves of. Yet it can be very hard but Christ is worthy to lose things for.
And as He said...
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Luke 7:23
We shall reap when it's time sisters....IF we faint not!
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Proverbs 24:10
Let's not faint along the way!
And we can help bear one another's burdens encouraging them and helping those in need.
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Isaiah 35:3-4
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Romans 15:1
And where do we get our strength from sisters?
We get it from the Lord! Let's trust Him and have true faith in Him knowing and believing His Words.
I read some from Revelation and it has some precious promises for us of what's to come if we endure!
Revelation 21:1-8
And I'll leave with this...
Amen...only those who overcome will be saved! Let's overcome in Christ and one day we shall be rewarded. Most of all it's pleasing to the Father and it glorifies Him.
OK sisters! I'm going to go. Lord willing I shall be back tomorrow!
Love in Christ,
...from one of God's daughters
