I for one am in total agreeance as to the amount of time i would be typing . Its funny i was reading about the suffering of the people under the rule of Rehoboam his mother Naamah was not of faith his father ruled with a whip. And here we are about to be governed by a faithless woman the time of suffering will never cease yet our faith will always carry us forward . onward and upward God bless. John :o)

Janice,
God Bless You. I’ve prayed for you and your husband. We are the body of Christ and we need each others prayers and support. If I listed all my current trials, I’ll be typing forever. But I rejoice each and every moment for I know Christ is with me as well.

One of the most beautiful things that Paul wrote was our present suffering is but for a moment. In the face of eternity even years are but a moment. But through it all, We can rejoice because of Christ who loves us. I and my Husband have been unemployed for almost two years now. We now have had to move in with our daughter to not be homeless. And yet maybe others are having it harder than us. I know I heard God say to me two short lines from old country songs in a new way. I AM LIVING ON LOVE, John 3:16 and nothing no not even unemployment and high taxes can separate me from the love of God. The other is MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY as I lay my head on the shoulder of God and listen for His heart. And let the Holy Spirit speak of his love for me. That I am his treasure, his pearl of great price. I am the apple of his eye and everything that concerns me concerns him. The world starts to fade and then I start to speak and say what his word says about me. I am his own, I am his beloved. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am the head and not the tail. I am more than a conquer in Christ Jesus. I know as I speak these things though I maybe feeling kind of low and blue. My whole being will change for He is the Glory and the lifter of my head.
I can’t say I am suffering for Christ. But I know he is with me and I can rejoice in His Love. I can be a witness of His love and goodness to all. Rich or poor, I can say as Peter said Silver and Gold I don’t have but what I have I can give you. Jesus 365 days a year. He is my provider, my healer, he is my shelter and His Grace is indeed more than enough for everything.
