Find Rest in the Love of GOD!
“And he [JESUS] said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it,” Luke 9:23-24.
“God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19.
Rejoice! Give thanks to GOD. Draw near to Him. Watch and pray. Seek Him diligently, know GOD for yourself.
Feed your spirit with the Word of GOD. Trust His plan for your life. Let your roots grow down into Him.
Walk in the spirit. For all who are led by the Spirit of GOD are sons of GOD. See that no one lead you astray. Watch yourself, so that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.
JESUS said in Matthew 24:24-25, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand”.
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority,” Colossians 2:8-10.
May you find rest in the love of GOD. Praise the LORD!
Blessings in Christ,

Thank you, dear sister Jill.
“See that no one lead you astray. Watch yourself, so that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.”
That`s what I always think about and hope for. This is very biblical. The LORD gives a reward, more precious than gold and silver. Being a Christian is not an easy walk. It costs a high price. All this is written in the Holy Scriptures. Luke 9, and Luke 24, and more.
Luke 24
The Cost of Being a Disciple
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
