Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Greetings sisters in Christ! God's Word says we reap what we sow in Galatians 6 so today I'm going to encourage you to pray for the brethren because when we pour ourselves out, God fills us back up.  I know when I'm struggling and beaten down by the world, if I pray for others or give of myself here on the blog to you sisters, I'm refreshed and strengthened.  I continuously pray that God give us the strength we need to overcome the trials in our lives, of which we know there are many.  Brother Jim and I have seen so many spiritual deaths that if we were to focus on them, we would be devastated and end up like Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt.  We know what flavorless salt is worth don't we? Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.  Luke 14:34-35 The Word of God says to pray witho

Greetings sisters! I hope you have done better in this area than I have. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.    But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;    That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.    For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?    And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?    Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:43-48) I confess, I have struggled in this area. I'm no better than anyone, nor do I think so but there are times I either forget or resist praying for our enemies who do wicked things to us.
