Hello my sisters in Christ!
I'm back because the Lord allowed me to be! Without Him we don't exist! I'm thankful for various good works He provides to do and we are to be zealous of them whatever we can do!
It's another good day to serve the Lord sisters! He is good no matter what isn't on this earth. May we be surrendered, submitted, lowly and meek before His greatness and authority.
Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.Psalm 138:6
I've had more of a peaceful, slower, restful day...but still getting some things done. Emailing some women and various bits and pieces. Getting sorted for my time here.

Was pruning dead wood from the lemon tree...
Of course I'm sure you know what scripture it reminds me of...
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.John 15:2
I love having so many pictures in nature the Lord taught us. That's awesome that He prunes us. But also wise to consider what happens to branches that don't produce good fruit.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.Matthew 3:10
I like this too, giving a tree another chance...
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Luke 13:7-9
God is merciful and long suffering. Let us be to our fellow humans as well.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.Romans 16:18
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.Psalm 55:21
Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.Psalm 69:22
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew 23:27-28
Things that look good aren't always. Let us test all things and be not deceived!
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.Luke 4:38-39
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.Revelation 21:4-5
Quick simple encouragement audio for you...
Hold fast sisters! If God be for us who can be against us?!
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 8:28-34
Unfeigned love to you all.
