But as for you be strong, don't be discouraged, for your work has a reward...For The eyes of The Lord range throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are completely His. 2 Chronicles 15:7, 16:9
You are the light of the world, a city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, so they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
We ALL know how it is to be weak, and how easy it is to be discouraged. Not always able to see ourselves as a light. This is the honor of being one of The Savior's own. With this comes a huge responsibility, He encourages and warns those who would trifle with His Holy name and His all encompassing and surpassing call and commission: "Those who honor Me, I will honor but those who despise Me will be disgraced." Samuel 2:30
To be despised and disgraced in the eyes of man is a part of life we all must deal with, to be despised and disgraced in the eyes of God,that my friend is death.... and miserable beyond description. Keep in mind BOTH of these last forever. "What the wicked dread shall overtake them, what the righteous desire will be granted". Eternity with your absolute best friend or eternity tormented by being seperated from Him and instead with your absolute worst enemy. Please tell me you are not struggling with this decision.
Proverbs 10:24, Ezekiel 36:26-27, Matthew 12:33-37, John 10:10
