Hello sisters!
I hope and pray we are all seeking to be godly holy women of God. He is our Father and we are sisters in the Lord our Saviour who died for us. It is a precious gift to know the truth, and to be children of God. We don't want to take it lightly do we. It is worth losing all for and we know we must strive for the narrow way.
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
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Matthew 16:24-27
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Luke 12:15-23
We do need to be careful living in this world not to get swept up in it or its affairs. May we keep everything in perspective too, sisters. Many things that may irritate us don't really matter in light of eternity. Think of the account of Mary and Martha. We are to have much patience and longsuffering. The Lord and His grace are sufficient for us. But yes, things may grieve us when we see the evils that are done to others and especially to the innocent. But God sees and He will avenge. As for us, we love those who do evil to us. We are to pray for them and bless them and certainly forgive. God's ways are of peace and mercy. May He help us to keep walking and growing in them!
Hold fast in the truth and faith, sisters. Love unto you in Jesus' name.
