Blessings in Persecution...Joy Is in the Midst

Dear Friends,

 I sometimes hear: "I don't know why people are always bothering me, picking on me. I try to get along and be nice to everyone."  Well the truth is you do not have to bother anyone or be mean in order to become the victim of bullies or individuals who are simply angry/mean.

 While it may sound like a cliche, it is true. That's life.  But God's Word lets us know that when we are persecuted for doing right, when we are rejected unjustly, when others lie on us WE ARE BLESSED. The victory comes in living like we believe it. Challenging when stones are being thrown. It is hard to imagine thanking someone while you dodge bricks!  However, with each passing day and renewed ounce of strength you can do it.  All things are possible through Christ Jesus.

  I can say I could smile and sometimes even laugh in the midst of persecution because the I was reminded of the word of the Lord:  I am blessed in and because of such obstacles.

 "Rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven."

 Blessed.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
