Encouragement

Moms, never think your job is of insignificance. “You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God’s fear, minding the house and making your household a church for God as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of Hosts.”

Charles Spurgeon

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER

Maya Angelou

A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.

When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not shouting ‘I’m clean livin,’
I’m whispering ‘I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.

When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I still feel the sting of pain…
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not holier than thou,
I’m just a simple sinner Who received God’s good grace, somehow!

***************************

Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead….When faith and action work together, your faith is made complete.

James 2:17,22

******************************

Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly, even if they roll a few stones upon it.

Albert Schweitzer
******************************
 
 
 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;  but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:31
  
******************************
 
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
 Ephesians 4:29
 
  ****************************** 

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes they’re just children from the outside.
I’m working hard, I tell myself they’ll be fine.  They’re in independent, but on the inside  I can hear them saying…

Lead me with strong hands stand up when I can’t.  Don’t leave me hungry for love chasing dreams, but what about us?  Show me you’re willing to fight that I’m still the love of your life I know we call this our home, but I still feel alone.

So Father, give me the strength to be everything I’m called to be Father, show me the way to lead them won’t You lead me?

To lead them with strong hands to stand up when they can’t.  Don’t want to leave them hungry for love, chasing things that I could give up.

 ”Lead Me’by Sanctus Real
