Well I know that I did one on this already.I thought that I had more to say on the matter.U know that there r times that we feel at our weakest,but it's then that God makes us strong.He will help us and give us the strength to press forward.Pushing like in child birth.This happens in the Spiritual rhealm as well.We have birthing pains and God wants us to push our way thru the pain to give birth in the Spirit.To press trhru to gain what it is that God has for us on the other side.Anything worth getting is worth fighting(thru the pain of childbirth).If it's worth getting it's worth going thru what u need to go thru to get it.
3:13 Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
AMEN Maddie!!! So we will stand and fight!! We will encourage, pray, and rejoice together! We will cry out so that the rocks will not have to in our place!!! Great word!! Thanks for sharing precious lady!! God loves you and so do I!!!
Mattie, wonderful post! Remember that He will not give us more than we can handle with Him at our side! He promises that He will test us through trials but our reward will be patience (DON'T pray for patience because we can only gain that THROUGH trials! LOL!!! James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt...
1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Woo-hoo, lil Sis! Your gonna be getting a crown! I know what I'm going to do with mine... lay it at the feet of Jesus as i bow down and thankHim for what He did for a poor sinner like me!
