Encouraged

I just want to thank you for the encouragement you have given me by all of your sweet comments. I am just amazed that so many of you would intercede on my behalf, and I am forever grateful for that!

Just wanted to share something I read this morning. It offered me great encouragement too!

"In this (in it all) you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious that gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, and though you do not see Him now, but BELIEVE in Him, you greatly REJOICE with joy inexpressible and full of glory" 1 Peter 1:6-8

Father, may Your name be praised, honored and glorified as a result of how you are working in our lives! May others come to know You, by seeing You in us! You ARE joy inexpressible!

Please know that I am in prayer for each of you...for the needs that I know of, and the ones that I do not. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

I love you all!

  1. I think I just found a new favorite verse for these days of my life! :) Thanks so much, Faith!!

    That joy is definitely something that I think about often--I might not always be the happiest with the way things are. But there is just a JOY there that can't be explained no matter the circumstances!
