Greetings sisters!
I hope you're strong in the Lord today! He granted us another day to choose to serve Him! We want to be His servants don't we sisters!
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
Acts 4:29
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Romans 6:22
Sisters, we don't think serving Christ is a burden do we?! We don't want to displease Him and it is not a bother or a heavy yoke! The world thinks we have no fun but the things they call fun are anything but that to us amen sisters. We are glad to do the Lord's work and joyous to have fellowship in Him with one another. But of course our flesh may not like to be crucified but our spirit rises up and overcomes that and we remember that it's an honour and great blessing to serve Him!
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Galatians 1:23
I love thinking about that and how God changes people! Nothing is impossible with Him! Lives can be changed 180 degrees!
I'm keeping working on settling in here. When you have your mind set on things above and know that we are strangers and pilgrims here it's not so much about 'where' on the earth you are but about the Lord's work. The world can do what it does and we just have our own labours to do and not get distracted by all the differences from one place to another. And we also do not have partiality and think any one place is better than another and neither do we have patriotism and get entangled in the affairs of this life like politics.
Basically everything is different around me...the houses, the cars, the stores, the birds and animals, and the people even...but we have our labours in the gospel to do and all can come to the Saviour if they repent!
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.Matthew 4:19-20
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.Psalm 91:1-2
Praise God for all His creations.
Thank you sister for these...
We are blessed to have His Word and the love of the saints!
Hold fast to the faith once delivered sisters!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
