Hello sisters around the world!
It's a blessing to get to write to you and send out some encouragement to you, God's daughters who are obeying Him! Instant communication and the like is surely a new thing of our age and one that can be a blessing and also we know the problems of the internet and technology in general can be very great. But we sisters use it as a tool for good and not for evil.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.1 Corinthians 10:31
I hope you are all stedfast and unmoveable in the Lord's work whatever that is in the ministry you each have! Let us be content and thankful, living quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty. We are salt and light in a crooked generation. We have the hope of the Saviour to share with those seeking!
Today I was thinking to share some scriptures on kind. As usual, God is our example in this and He also commands us to have it to one another.
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel 2:13
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.Psalm 51:1
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
Isaiah 54:8
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
Psalm 119:76
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:7
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.Psalm 63:3
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Titus 3:4
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians 3:12
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Proverbs 31:26
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Luke 6:35-36
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,1 Corinthians 13:4
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.Ephesians 4:32
Some awesome scriptures right there! God is kind to the unthankful and evil it says...may we be also. And yes kindness is a part of love isn't it. And it definitely is to be among the saints...showing great kindness to each other!
Reminds me of some people of the world showing kindness in this account of Paul's shipwreck...
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.Acts 28:2
It's a shame when people who claim His name don't have it but let us sisters examine our lives and keep showing kindness especially to those in the household of faith but to all as well. We never stop growing in God's ways do we...as we haven't attained. Christ showed His love in laying down His life. It is a high calling. We are thankful for His love and kindness and so let us have it to our fellow man!
I wanted to read 1 Corinthians 13 today and just share some thoughts and encouragement on audio because I can!
His Word is always good and let us love it more and more as the world (including those naming Christ's name) moves away from it and makes up their own ways which do not work.
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.Proverbs 14:12
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.Psalm 16:11
In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.Proverbs 12:28
Praise God to know the way that leads to life! Oh yes there's few that find it Jesus said but it is like the pearl of great price and the hidden treasure that Jesus told about in His parable that we sell all to find!
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:44-46
Hope you have a blessed day in the Lord my sisters! Keep striving on! Christ is worthy and it will be worth it all! Nothing worth losing our souls over. Let us lay aside every weight that hinders us and cut off that which causes us to sin. Fight the good fight of faith sisters and be faithful unto death! Then we shall be counted worthy to stand before the Son of man in His glory. Don't let anything make you draw back sisters. There's nothing back there and this world is fading away and so temporary and just pleasing to the flesh for a short time but leads to death. Keep your hearts with all diligence! Look to Jesus!
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23
Grace, mercy, peace, and love to all,
Christ's servant,
Chayil
