I think I need to try and explain what has gone on for over a year. 2021 is not even a memory in my life, there are things that I sort of remember as Debbie has told me. I have been tested and tried by the enemy and I pray that I make a mark for our Lord.
by Shepherd Jym Wells
We can go shopping or to a ball game stadium and watch a game and shout and yell but stay home from church because of this stupid bug. With that thought, I was brought back to this verse Matthew 7:13-14 (ESV) 13 Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Every time I read these verses or think of them I catch myself repeating verse 14 over and over.14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life. Today is about the hard part how many times a day do we just pray and thank our Father for all He does for us without us asking and not asking Him for anything.
How many times have we just prayed and thanked Him for His love for us? I wonder what would happen if the churches were full every service and the alter was full before the service not after if we got on our knees and laid it all out there and left it there. Then we could hear the message that would be given to us.
I am sure this is going to be one message that will not be liked but one that needs to be heard. I wonder how many of us only talked to our parents or our children only talked to us when something was wanted or needed… We have so many things, in the world today, to take our minds away from where they should be and I feel it is time we get where we need to be. What is it going to take to get Christians where they should be and doing what they should be doing?
Getting back to normal life is the hardest thing I have had to go through that I can remember. Even praying is a challenge for me and all I desire is to do what our Lord desires me to do and take care of what He has given me to do. Your prayers are needed and desired, so please keep this ministry in your prayers.
Memory Verse…
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NKJV) 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
