Hello sisters!
Our Lord reigns! And we sisters, His daughters, get to serve Him and He's preparing a place for His faithful! Isn't this a big deal? Yes it is and He is first in our lives. We are blessed!
I love this verse...
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Romans 14:19
It makes me think of sisters, mature in the faith, and not fighting over things that don't matter (things that aren't sinful). It goes along with how we are to be preferring one before another, being patient with one another, and loving one another fervently.
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians 3:12-15
God's ways are so wonderful. So rare to see them truly followed sadly but it is so refreshing when you see sisters (and brothers) striving hard to follow God's ways fully.
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
Romans 15:32
Amen there is so much refreshing spending time edifying and encouraging and communicating with the true saints of God. We live with the world (which includes false believers) around us as of course we are in this world (but not of it) so what a refreshment to be with those who are made alive by the Spirit of the true and living God!
Today I got to harvest some of the onion crop...
And some input from a sister as we were sharing together...
Yes how blessed we are above the bare basics of food! Glory to God! Let not one complaining word be ever found amongst us sisters. We are to be thankful and content!
I was reminded of this too from old times...
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 23:22
We see God's care for those in need. And we too who now walk in the Spirit also care for one another.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
John 10:11-14
I say amen to that! I'm blessed to have sisters as my friends. (Thank you sister for giving me those scripture picture gifts!) Amen it truly rejoices the heart to receive encouragement and edification and such from my sisters!
I must go now sister saints...my day is over. How about yours? I hope it is going well or was a good day in the Lord!
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11
Amen!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
