Encouragement for Struggling Sisters (with audio)
Good evening sister saints!
Praise God for the body of Christ and I'm so thankful to be able to reach out and send godly love to you all. Tonight I made an audio to encourage sisters who are struggling through tough circumstances, you know who you are. You can listen to it HERE. I pray you are strengthened and encouraged and I hoped to lift you up in love.

Brother Jim made an audio that might encourage you also, about being hated. It's amazing how the Lord works because being hated sounds like something we don't want but when we see the world hating us we can have comfort knowing that our Savior already told us. You can find that HERE.
We traveled through some beautiful Tennessee countryside, I see why people like this area as it's very pretty streams running winding here and there. I tried to get pics of it but they didn't turn out.
Our Father keeps His promises and those who endure will receive the crown of life.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:12
As a side not, do some research on the word temptation and see that it's not necessarily something that entices you, it's usually a trial or testing, see the greek.
I like to share pictures of our travels because I'm sure some of you are in cities and don't have the opportunity to get out in the countryside very often. To God be the glory for all things created. It's hard to get good pics because of the lack of color but that too, is a stark beauty.
This time of the year can be somewhat challenging if you live in a colder climate and can't get outside as often and maybe the sun isn't shining as much, which can also make for trials in the flesh. It just makes those sunny days even more appreciated doesn't it? Making us thankful for the small things and teaching us never to take anything for granted.
Some day we shall rest from all this....
Hebrews 4:9-16
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. [10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
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.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Strive on sister saints, I know you can do it because if God be for us, who can be against us! Let us all pray for one another:-)
And of course, some cheery flowers for my sisters,
Grace and peace to you from the Lord Jesus Christ,
Sister Deb
