Forward By 10, Backwards by 0

It's difficult to gain territory, and it's even harder to keep it! The enemy has plans to take it back and bind you yet again. But the Father's plans are greater! And His power and grace are more than sufficient to hold you up through it all.
"Even when the rain falls..Even when the flood starts rising. Even when the storm comes, I am washed by the water. Even if the Earth crumbles under my feet. Even if the ones I love turn around and crucify me...I won't fall as long as you're around me."
Be still and know that He is God. Be encouraged by that fact.
In Christ,

I'll Be Praying for Her...*eyeroll*

Lately I've called myself "praying for my enemies" not realizing how truly selfish I was being. Sure, a few good days, extra cash, and a hobby will keep them occupied long enough to relieve my nerves...but how is that truly beneficial for what is obviously causing them their pain? In the scripture "Love your enemies..."(Matt5:44) the word agape tells me I should be praying for the highest good to come to them. And that is for them to know our Lord and in turn have their hearts "turned right".
Fight the bitterness! Be consistent, be compassionate, and embrace the development of a new brother/sister in Christ :)
In Christ,
