Hello sisters!
May the joy that is ahead of us encourage us to keep pressing on each day! There is so much laid up for God's children who endure faithful until the end. Just as our Lord endured the cross for the joy set before Him, so too can we be strengthened to press on thinking of the glory that is to follow for the faithful.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:1-4
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
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.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:3-7
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,1 Peter 1:4
Our Lord is merciful to offer this to us. And He made a way for us to find this eternal life through His Son! Let us follow after Him in obedience to obtain this joy! Indeed we must keep pressing on as we have not received our salvation yet! We have the hope of it if we strive on to the end! I hope and pray we all do. God wants none to perish and we don't either as we hope all will repent as that would be glorious. But God is also just and righteous and sin cannot stand in His sight. Let us strive to walk worthy of this high calling sisters. We are children of light. Let us keep laying aside and casting off any hindrances or sins.
I was pondering on this scripture...
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.Acts 20:35
And indeed God gave Himself for the world while most rejected Him. And it also reminds me how Jesus taught us not to call those who may recompense you to a feast but those who couldn't. And while in our rich cultures it's much more rare that there's people with true needs of lacking food and clothing but it matters what we would do if we had the opportunities. God knows our hearts.
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.Ephesians 4:28
Indeed the reason saints are to work is to meet the needs of others and of course their own needs like Paul did and also provide for their own lest they deny the faith by being slothful and uncaring. We are not to lay up treasures upon earth. We want our treasures above. There will our heart be!
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:19-21
Keep pressing on strong in all your duties you have as women, sisters! We know the Lord is glorified in submissive, humble, serving women with meek and quiet spirits!
Much love to you all in the faith. Hold fast till He comes! Our redemption draws nearer!
