Daughters for His Glory

Strong Sister Soldier Saints Striving

Greetings sisters!

I truly hope you are all standing strong in the truth of God. And may the title I gave this post be us, daily! It can be such a battle we have to get through in this life of course. But we have been given the necessary things to get through. Praise God for that. And we all face similar battles wherever we are.

So what are some things that we can be strong in and overcome with. No of course these are just a few things and by no means everything but I hope it can encourage you. (You can read more about our armour for this battle in Ephesians 6.)

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"
Ephesians 6:17

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12

We sisters must study, know, and live the Word of God. It's a powerful weapon for us to have in our hearts, our lives, and in defending truth and reaching the lost with the gospel. You have to know what you believe in order to stand strong.

And as Jesus said...

That's what we sisters have to do...and strive until the end.

First we must have come through the right way and that is the gospel of Christ. That has been so twisted over time so please make sure you are grounded in the right foundation.

Let us come through Christ and His truth and not our own ways and not the Christian religion of our day either.

"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
John 10:9

We have been told by God that this life of following and obeying Christ will be hard. Sisters, don't get swept away in the things of this life (entertainment, politics, media, man made religion/church etc). All those things are easy but...

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."
2 Timothy 2:3-4

Let us not think we are going to have an easy life but prepare our minds to face hardship for Christ's sake.

Let us walk in the Spirit and not the flesh.

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
2 Corinthians 10:3-5

What mighty weapons we have been blessed to have available for our use!

"This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:"
1 Timothy 1:18-19

"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;"
2 Corinthians 3:5

Amen. Without the power of God to keep us we would be back in the world living in our sins.

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
John 15:5

We can overcome in Him...but we have to do our part of course and fight to kill our flesh. You don't just sit back and relax and expect to enter the kingdom of God in the end. What a lie that so many have been told.

Let us be strong in faith in such a faithless world where so many are questioning God. But we know He will come with vengeance when it's time. And we know so many are falling back away from the faith. Let us not look at them because then we may fall back to. Let us press on and look to Christ. He is faithful and worthy.

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."
1 Timothy 6:12

Yes it's a spiritual war we are in, no doubt.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Ephesians 6:12

Did you get any picture of ease in all that? I didn't.

What are some ways we as sisters can prepare and be strong.

We have to get over the "first things" like our biblical dress and headcoverings. In that I mean there's far harder things coming and to strive against so let us not be found in our flesh in regards to our clothing and what people will think about it. Maybe some of you are just starting to dress biblical and headcover. And if you know the Word teaches it then you can't keep putting it off as that is disobedience and is dangerous for your soul. Let us live to please Him who has chosen us to be soldiers. May we not be entangled in pride and vanity; the things of the flesh in relation to our clothing and looks.

"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;"
1 Peter 2:11

We can make sure we are sure of our role we are to have as women. By that I mean we are to be helpers to the men and silent in the body of believers. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't study and think about how we ought to answer everyone who asks us about truth. And at other times we have to defend the truth against error in appropriate ways as godly women.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:"
1 Peter 3:15

If a sister is blessed with a biblical husband or elder she can ask him spiritual questions and learn much that way as it is supposed to be according to 1 Corinthians 14.

When you realise how big of a battle we are in you know you could never do it on your own. We have a strong adversary as a roaring lion, and a sneaky "angel of light" in satan. But we know...

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
1 John 4:4

I speak to myself in this. We all have different lives but yet in the spiritual battle we face much the same.

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
1 Corinthians 10:13

No we are never to be the spiritual leaders and teachers but that doesn't ever mean we are to be weak in the battle against sin and the flesh.

Perhaps that edified and encouraged you in your walk. There's so much more to it and more I could write on; on how we can grow stronger in reaching out and sharing the gospel with those around us. Or about how we can share our lives with other sisters that we might be blessed to know and love the brethren. We can serve and bless others in ways we can. For sure we will all have to be strong in order to overcome all we must in this battle.

And in fact we can also do this...

"We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification."
Romans 15:1-2

Let us all strive to be pleasing to our Lord as strong sister soldiers in Him. May we draw strength from Him and His Word. When we are weak let us trust in Him and look to Him and His Word for our strength.

"That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;"
Ephesians 3:16

And a rose for my sisters...

Love to you!

...from a fellow sister soldier

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Another Day in the Lord

Hello sisters!

I pray you are standing strong, striving, and shining in this dark world.

Days can fly by and at other times life seems to stand still, yet though we must remember our life is just a vapour. We have it now but it could be gone tomorrow.

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
James 4:14

How are we living each day?

"There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless."
Luke 1:5-6

How are we sisters doing at that, walking blameless in all God has for us in the New Testament?

Let us remind ourselves to redeem the time.

"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Ephesians 5:15-17

Are we focusing on what's most important. Can the other things wait? Should we pluck them out or forsake them?

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:8

"Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."
Galatians 5:7-9

"I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
1 Corinthians 9:26-27

Let us not take this blessing of living for the Lord lightly but let us run the race with all diligence and rest in the strength of the Lord.

As keepers at home let us not get lost in our duties but remember that which is eternal. But we know the Lord would have us to do good works of serving in our homes wherever the Lord has us. May we do our work unto Him.

Blessings from the garden...

You can hear some peaceful birds on this video if you like. I love hearing them.

And see a pretty moth...

And some blessings shared from another sister in the Lord...

(Thank you faithful sister. The Lord reward you:-)

How blessed we are to even have the written Word of God in our hands! Let us all cling to that in this wicked deceived world. Trust in God sisters.

"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."
Psalm 118:8

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Proverbs 16:25

Yes, and I will add going along with others who called themselves Christian and "things that you did if you were Christian" (ie going to church, celebrating Christmas/Easter, etc) seemed like the right thing to do for me in the past in my own eyes...but I learned it leads to death.

"Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."
James 5:19-20

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
James 4:7

Let us take our burdens and fears to the Lord. Let us walk in the Spirit and not the flesh, fear God and not man.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

1 Peter 3:1

Love in Christ,

Encouragement For Your Day

Good day godly sister saints!

We have a new day in which to glorify the Father by our lives. Praise Him!

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16

Last night's dinner/tea. It's a tortilla stack which is much like an easy version of lasagna.

That's a giant egg a hen laid today.

I used it in tea and it had two yolks of course.

I shared this pic of it with a sister in the Lord and she sent it back with the scripture.

There's some amazing verses in scripture...some of which we don't even know are in there even if we've read them before. So that got us talking a bit about salt.

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
Matthew 5:13

"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
Colossians 4:6

And this one is interesting...especially considering we are living sacrifices ourselves today.

"And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt."
Leviticus 2:13

"For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."
Mark 9:49-50

Let us not be like this...

"But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."
Genesis 19:26

In fact Jesus Himself told us to...

"Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it."
Luke 17:32-33

Of course being keepers at home and cooks we use salt a lot in cooking.

I sent this Titus 2 picture of my dishes washing to my sister and she returned it with the verse.

Yes that's something us women can think of when we are cleaning and all that...the fact that we are washed in Christ's blood and our sins are forgiven when we repent. Praise God for that! And that's not something we can take lightly...because a terrible lie going around today is that we can sin and Christ's blood still covers us. No we must repent and forsake the sin and He will forgive us.

But think of the blessing of being able to have our sins forgiven. These are and were sins against a holy, holy holy God, a terrible thing.

"And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him ; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
Revelation 4:8-11

"Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven."
Luke 7:47-48

"Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
John 5:14

"Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered."
Romans 4:7

"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
Luke 15:10

And I leave with a scripture from my sister....

Love in Christ,

...from a daughter of His

Why Does a Christian Woman Headcover?

Greetings godly sisters!

How's your life in the Lord going? Steadfast and strong or weak and wavering?

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 15:58

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
Ephesians 4:14

I would like to do a post on head covering for women. It is a simple yet deep subject; a much confused and ignored and disobeyed command of God for His people, His women.

The simple answer to why Christian women wear headcoverings is that God commands it.

There are many false views on it though and no I don't claim to know it all but it is no surprise really that in the last century or two this practice, for those who call themselves Christian, has been largely abandoned. It went along with MANY other compromises and sins in those claiming Christ in recent times.

Why would we listen to just anyone who calls themselves Christians or believers when we know in this age, false teachers and apostasy abounds? Paul was even very concerned about error entering in and we can read much about deception coming in and that is upon us now like no other time...including in this area of headcovering. Remember also in the Garden how Eve was deceived and today with feminism it isn't any different.

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."
Acts 20:29-30

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of."
2 Peter 2:1-2

And for those who still do practice women's head covering it is either out of their tradition, or what they are used to, or along with a certain denomination, or done in an unbiblical manner, or done as a personal preference or desire (like the woman I wrote about on this post). Many seem to think it is something optional or a "non-essential" (which doesn't exist as no command of God is not essential to be obeyed.) as if you see it in scripture and are convicted about it do it, and if not you do not have to. But so few see it as a command. And why does finding and obeying the commands of God matter? If a woman claims to be a believer and has become a new creation through the new birth via the biblical gospel, then she will be looking to obey the Lord out of her love for Him and by the Spirit in her. The Spirit will convict her and lead her to obey this command because of her faith. He will give her power to obey this and put down her own flesh.

It is a large subject one connected to our meek and quiet role as women, all of which cannot be covered in this one post.

Let God's Word speak for itself...for those who have ears to hear. Here is the scripture that sets out this command for women saints. Keep in mind that women right from early on in the Bible and in various places are seen covering their heads.

Paul writes....

"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."

1 Corinthians 11:1-16

He was praising them for keeping what he had previously taught them and he went on to tell them this, writing in detail why a woman is to cover her head. Praise God He told us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3) for us as women. (And we can also read in Acts 18 that Paul had already spent 18 months teaching truth to the believers in Corinth.).

And we can go back and read Paul's opening statements of the letter and it is written to all saints everywhere.

"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"
1 Corinthians 1:1-2

And this area of scripture that teaches women to headcover really doesn't need much explanation and is reasonably straight forward. It says for man to be unveiled and a woman veiled because man is her head. It says it is a shame for a woman to be shaven and have short hair. It says nature teaches woman with long hair is her glory (and man with long hair is his shame). It says a woman is to be covered because of the angels...and much more.

And so now we have women (who claim to be believers and therefore praying) showing their glory with uncovered heads which God says is shameful and uncomely for her to do. As a side note, it reminds me of these verses...people have turned glory into shame.

"Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"
Philippians 3:17-19

There are many or most women who glory in their uncovered heads which is their shame.

Because it says that to be uncovered is one and the same things as being shaved bald...both shameful for a woman.

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven."
1 Corinthians 11:5

Oh, people say, it's just a custom at Corinth. No it's not. Paul is teaching on the order that God created from the beginning and he lays it out for the saints as this.

God

Christ

Man

Woman

Nothing about a custom or culture or anything there. We know from the beginning that God created the woman for the man, so he is her head. And that is where women are not the spiritual leaders and teachers. She is to cover her head because of this for one reason. To not do so is to dishonour her head (man).

Also another fact to consider is that what Paul wrote were God's commands. So many don't take that seriously.

And see this what he wrote in this same letter...

"If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."
1 Corinthians 14:37

Wow, that is serious. And we know the scriptures were inspired by the Holy Spirit/God Himself. So if you are wondering whether headcovering really is to be obeyed today you need to ponder all these things and go where the facts lead and obey.

And we know...

"And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
Luke 4:4

So knowing these things really helped me to see through the lies and deception I had heard all my life from Christianity in general. But honestly the Holy Spirit will convict in this...if we are truly seeking.

And study the Greek words as well...especially note that the word covering in verse 15 is a different original word to the ones used above it to say a woman is to be covered.

If a woman isn't seeking all truth and willing to lose her life for Christ, then there may be parts of scripture that she ignores and doesn't want to look at it too deeply for fear of what it will say and mean to her. That was me in the past sadly. But I repented and left that lukewarmness and sin behind. So if you are reading this I hope you are seeking all of God's truth to obey it. As James says...

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
James 1:22

Don't deceive yourself by not obeying. Disobedience is sin and sin not repented of leads to death not salvation.

Women who claim to be born again believers need to examine themselves and see if they truly are, and study this area and obey it no matter the cost. (They will need to stop looking to their pastors or trusting the teachings of the theologians who they think know better and are unbiblical. I mean, we are responsible before God and today so many false teachers abound.) If you have the Holy Spirit and the Word then that is really all you need. Study the Word and put away all the unbiblical teachings of men and women who are not biblical. Yes it is easy and a dangerous thing to get swept away if we aren't discerning and if we compromise in any areas but learning the state of apostasy of "the church" is a huge wake up call to get serious and run from that as it goes deeper into more sin.

Let us cling fast to the truth we do have in the Word.

"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."
2 Thessalonians 2:15

And then we need to obey this too...separation from those departing from sound doctrine, from those who refuse to obey in this area of headcovering once shown the truth of it.

"Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us."
2 Thessalonians 3:6

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."
Psalm 1:1

There is no room for "different opinions". It is pride and vanity to think we can ignore this because it isn't popular today and our flesh doesn't like it.

"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
1 Corinthians 1:10

So that's what I have to write on that. There would be much more to say but if a woman is truly seeking then she can see what it says for herself.

Yep, if you've never worn a covering before then yes it could be really hard at first in the flesh but we have to walk in the Spirit, fear and obey God, and not fear man. Remember the rich young ruler who couldn't give up one thing to follow Christ. Can you give up your "reputation" and uncovered head (which is shameful) in order to follow Christ? I hope so. I hope you will obey.

Remember this...

"And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;"
Hebrews 5:9

You can see a post I did here on what a woman can wear for a covering.

Well I hope that could edify and bless the readers as we all strive on to be obedient to our Lord and Saviour in all our ways, having been born by the Spirit.

Love in Christ,

Simple Edification for My Sisters

Greetings sisters!

I pray you passed one more day strong in the Lord!

I wanted to share some simple edification for your day, sent with love from me.

I ran out of time on the post I was working on but still wanted to share something with you. As this verse says...

"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."
Galatians 6:10

And I still have an opportunity to send out a quick note of encouragement to my sisters.

"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
John 14:21

Some pistachios from our tree....

(Such variety of foods God created!)

I was cutting plums the other day and sent a picture to my sister in the Lord and she added a verse, so I share it here.

Well sisters I pray you are focused on what matters, eternal things.

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3:1-2

Lord willing I shall be back here tomorrow!

Hold fast to the faith!

Love in Christ,

Daily Encouragement in Christ

Greetings sisters!

How's today?

I have some simple encouragement and edification for your day, for our day, as we strive on together in the faith of the gospel.

And I thought I'd share some verses on together.

"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"
Philippians 1:27

"We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain."
2 Corinthians 6:1

"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3

"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
Colossians 2:13-14

"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
1 Corinthians 1:10

"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;"
Colossians 2:2

"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18

Hope those edified you! There are so many aspects of scripture for us to look at and consider.

Well let us strive together in the unity of the faith, sisters!

And a few pics from my day....

(Spot two bees.)

A farm scene view from the house window. Someone left the gate open...and the cows found their way to a green patch of grass. At least they mowed the lawn a bit:-)

"And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
John 5:29

All shall hear and the Lord will put all things right one day sisters! Let us strive on and hold fast!

"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
Revelation 22:12-14

Love in Christ,

From one of His daughters
