2 Thes 2: 13-17

Stand Firm

13But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth. 14To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope, 17encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.

Musterseed:
Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage. Wait for the Lord.

Deut. 31:7
It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you; He will not leave you nor forsake you;
Do not fear or be dismayed.

Amen Heidi, Thank you

In Christ

Wanda:
Thank you dear sisters for these words of encouragement.

Isaiah 43:1-3
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord you God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

Luke 12:25-26
 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[a]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Philippians 4:6
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Heidi:
In our daily walk we can be so easily caught up in the affairs of the world!  There are wars being fought, mass migration of people wanting a better future, a new virus to content with, climate change, Australia alight, people loosing everything etc.etc.....

My heart goes out to humanity for they dont know what we know and they dont have the inner peace we have nor has it been destined for them now to know.

But we, being one in Christ need to shine as lights in this world.

I am so grateful that God has graced me with this truth and peace.

I am grateful for my brothers and sisters and I'm grateful for this site.

Love
Heidi

I can't begin to tell you how comforting this post is ladies. I have a young daughter who has to grow up in this crazy world and it can become so stressful and overwhelming.  Anxiety and fear do tend to get the better of me at times.  Thank you for the words of encouragement.  It has brought me great peace. It is times like this that make me see how weak my faith is . Thank you again.  God Bless you.
