Dear Friends,
I feel so strong about writing this out for you, because The Lord our God has helped me understand, that we love our dear brothers and sisters dearly, but we love our family until it hurts. What is it, that is bogging you down?
Hang in there! Don’t be surprised or “think it strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you”!
Re-read that middle part!
Next verse: REF 1 Peter 4:12-13
~ BUT REJOICE
… when HIS Glory is revealed,
you will be glad and with exceeding joy!
{Emphasis mine}~
Open your Bible to read more, because it is a part of realizing the beauty in this life with Christ when EVERYTHING GRATEFUL happens in you!!! This is the power of being thankful!!!

I have so much to explode out of me, because I have been tried; and now I have this joy! I believe it’s called moving in faith and growing in our trust and hope in the Lord
… Trust and hope to see what the Lord is doing … requires a change of mind and behavior growing our trust, hope and faith in the Lord! Friends, this is so good, when you receive this you will never be the same!
Let’s read on …
The love you have in Christ in you is greater than the pain of loving others well in Christ, as we each get there … don’t forget that 2nd part! Stand fast in the LORD for your own soul; and for each other; and keep your peace! The Lord fights the battle for you! Our job is to trust in the Lord and Hope in the Lord and receive the love God has for us and allow that love in us to grow in our trust in God who does the work.
May we see the Salvation of the Lord working! Halleluiah to our God most high!
Let (means we have a choice), Let us love Jesus, 1st and foremost, so that, we can love each other! This is better than you might think! I am just receiving this fully today! I assure you; I still have room to grow! We cannot outgrow God! We always have more room to expand our mind and our heart in the mansion of God! Christ is of many mansions for God’s Glory – And you my friend are purposed in Christ to be one!

What is the worst thing you are going through right now?
I could tell you my story, but maybe I could write this just for you?
There is a life of comparison, pleasing people … competition, even jealousy, which leads to comparison … Am I speaking to anyone right now?
But there is a life trusting in our Lord our God and placing our hope in Jesus.
Okay, you have heard all this before if you are bearing down surrendering to the Lord the real things you are facing right now. I get that fully. I just woke up this morning grateful to wake up free from the things that cause us to want to say in our situation, “Why? Why me Lord?”
We know that is wrong to question the Lord, but it is a bearing down in trust in hope to walk through this valley that really feels like you are all alone in the shadow of death … Have you ever felt all alone?
Scripture makes everything real real! Yes, so are the things we feel real, but there is a deliverance from the real of the pain, to the real in the joy!
I love being raw before the Lord, because Jesus was before us!
So, without sharing all my pitiful sob story, let’s think together and look to the Lord for something greater! I did & this morning again, I gained deliverance and the joy of the Lord! There’s more too … A purpose in all this, but that may be for another time! Hint: The Crown and Joy set before us is the same crown of Jesus he wore …. for the love of those God loves in this world and God will do a good work in us and through us and for the good of those we love.
Back to the subject Today!
I woke up this morning happy! I mean really happy in the Lord! Content beyond trying, freed in contentment with the joy in the Lord swelling up on the inside! Do you know that feeling of deliverance and being set free?
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation … for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the LORD has promised to them that love him.
Mt 5:2-5 Blessed are those who mourn … WHY? for they shall be comforted! This good my friends!!! Real on … open your Bibles and gain the Knowledge that agrees with Christ in your born-again soul! Let this mind be in you that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! Where is that written? If you need help learning navigation through the Word God gives us, please ask, we are here to help! This is For God’s Glory Alone Ministries; and Hope in Today Ministries joined together here for you after all!

Jer 17:7-8 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD & whose hope is in the LORD.
Mt 6:9-13 The prayer that keeps us – Our Father, which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy Name …
Phil 4:1 My Joy and my crown …
Let us lay aside every weight and the sin that doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
What is the difference in love? EVERYTHING JESUS!!!
Remember the Name of the Lord our God – Psalm 20:7, KJV
The Crown and JOY is Salvation working within each other growing in our knowledge and understanding of God and understanding Christ. In Jesus Name, amen.
Salvation is working!
Being delivered FROM:
- Pleasing People
- Competition
- Jealousness
- Comparison
All Halleluiahs to God our Father!
MY FRIENDS, WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE GOD MOST HIGH!!!
If you know Christ Jesus, you have Eternal Life in Christ to know God as your Father!
If you don’t believe God sent Jesus to be the propitiation for your sins, you can! Perhaps, you have never seen Christ in a soul who loves God enough to love you as you are -not needing to fix you or change you, just love you trusting our God!
This is really Good News! And Jesus truly is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
If you feel his Spirit of Peace drawing your heart in closer to God to believe God’s testimony about His Son, COME and tell Jesus you believe and be raw before our God who loves you, knows your sin and loves you anyway. Do yourself a wonderful thing and receive this love! Tell God what He already knows, and discover, God is better at loving you immediately than people who are still growing in our knowledge of this great love God has for each of our messed-up souls!
Dearly beloved and longed for —- Who is your crown?
The Crown is the Victory we discover that God has done and is doing a great and good things for all the Children that belong to God! We are children of the God most high!
Love in Christ,
