Greetings sisters!
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2 John 1:3
Nice to come back here and share a little encouragement for my sisters! Hope you're going well wherever you are!
I share this scripture...
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Luke 9:23-26
Deep and serious words from our Saviour which we want to heed don't we. And good to remember daily about denying ourselves and taking up our cross and following after Him.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:27
And more here about the urgency and importance of following Him compared with anything or anyone here...
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:59-62
Just some encouragement for us sisters to keep pressing on after Him! We ought not to think in our flesh about hurting people's feelings because of our following after our Saviour in obedience. We know He is first and if we love Him we obey Him. We sisters may face such occasions where we don't participate in something unbiblical that we may have used to and those scriptures definitely are encouraging aren't they! We shouldn't be concerned about what people think of us but we should be fixed on following our Saviour and pleasing Him.
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Psalm 63:8
Amen...let's keep doing that sisters! He is worthy!
Pretty spring days continue here...
Glory to God...how beautiful!
God's created world is amazing! And yet many say there is no God!
But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
Jeremiah 10:10-12
But we are joyous to get to know and serve Him!
