Greetings sisters!
Back again to share some encouragement with you! And that encouragement is of course centered around the Lord and His truth as we sure don't live for this world or the things in it.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:15-17
We know we cannot serve two masters. We want God to be our Master don't we sisters and just get through this world, which is satan's kingdom and crafted to distract and deceive people, the best we can and with our armour on.
We cannot just add Jesus to our life and think we will make it to God's kingdom. We have to lose our lives for Him don't we and even one sin we hold onto and refuse to surrender (which is rebellion) will cost us our souls. We must constantly examine our lives and whether we are even in the faith and work out our salvation with fear and trembling and know the righteous will scarcely be saved. It's a high mark we are to aim for and it's definitely possible because of what Christ has done in setting us free from sin! And He gave the Word and Spirit too. And we do know it doesn't all happen automatically but we must abide in Him and repent and many such things, centered around our faith in Him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.John 14:23-24
That last verse is an easy test to put people through...if they don't obey or want to they don't love God. And that is not a good thing at all for their souls. And this verse helps us if we feel bad in our flesh for having to reject people...
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
1 Corinthians 16:22
It's a wicked thing to not love/obey Jesus. We hope they repent. Let us sisters press on with striving to love Him with all that we are!
Next scripture reading to edify my sisters...
Another awesome chapter for us. Praise God for His Word!
It was a rainy day some of the time today...
Which really is a great blessing here as the dry summer is on the way. And water brings life doesn't it. And nature even teaches us things so we also know we need Jesus who gives us living water!
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.Deuteronomy 32:1-3
Glory to God!
Simple blessing of finding potatoes, like hidden treasures...
Which was yesterday while the sun was setting...
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
That's what I have for edifying for today. Keep striving on sisters!
Love to you all,
