Endings - Stand & Rest!

“And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever amen. Through Silvanus, of faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it! She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.” I Peter 5:10-14

When you are growing through difficult times, sometimes you can feel like the pain and difficulty will never end. But stop for a moment and consider the wonders of Christ’s love for you and the eternity you are promised, it can help you keep things in perspective so you can stand and rest – but sometimes it is not easy and your brothers and sisters in Christ are there to help you through it.

“’All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your soul. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.’” Matthew 11:27-30

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
