Dear Brides.
I have been extremely busy, but I believe my Beloved Lord has brought me to this season. He is leading me to start a new program, but I haven't got much time or energy left, to do much more to make it through. Today was the deadline and I haven't got sign ups. Plus, the whole module for the program seems too big and too much work. Yet I was encouraged and reminded of His great love when reading this lesson that I will be sharing.Β
First the reminder that He is not upset with me, makes me feel more at peace! Because I still sometimes think that I haven't been obeying as I should, so He wonβt answer me or care to help me because this is how I behave when someone doesnβt obey me or do things right. Also, with the question pondering in my mind if I heard Him right, make me think that perhaps I am wrong concerning doing this program. I realised that I just need Him more than ever, but He still wants me to obey Him, so I really haven't got much time for anything else than just working and to work hard! I was thrilled to know with this lesson that there is MORE LOVE, MORE COMPASSION, MORE FORGIVENESS, once I surrender my life to Him. And no more condemnation! How I am different from Him, my tendency is to judge and condemn, when someone is not obeying or behaving as they should.Β
But as the author shared: "the same raising-from-the-dead power that raised Lazarus, that raised the Lord, still works today", I found that so powerful I just need to believe. I just need to believe that He is going to help me. Believe that He is going to change my family and change me.
Dear Brides
Life can be hard and tough, but I want to encourage you to not lose heart but keep believing even when we do not see. There are so many things that look dead in my life too. But I need to believe in the resurrection power! He hasn't changed!
So, I must stay fixed in my mind and move forward with confidence without never losing heart! And stay fixed!
I want to be pleasing to the Lord. Faith is what pleases Him. Have faith!
As the author shared: βThere is more love, more compassion, more forgiveness, and much more that He has in store for you as you enjoy your journey on this abundant life that begins once you surrender your life to Him and agree to go along with Him in faithβ

Dear Naomi, thank you for your praise. Our Beloved is the same yesterday, today and forever, and His love can do all things. He is our Hope, and like you, in my life there may be many dead things, but others that He has raised up, to give us His strength. We continue to believe in hope against all hope
Thank you for sharing this beautiful lesson. It was such and eye opener for me to realize that everything we might go through is part of His plan for us.

Naomi, I am touched by your words. It’s amazing how we can feel so alone in our struggles, yet when we open up, we find that others are walking a similar path. I, too, once have felt that maybe I was not obeying as I should so βthis is what I get for not obeyingβ and had pondering thoughts if I have heard Him right.
Nowadays, if I question and I am not sure I just tell Himβ¦ βLord, if I have heard incorrectly and this is not what you want, please put a stop to it and guide me in the right directionβ and I just leave it to Him and trust Him, that if it is not His will, He will change it.
The reminder that He is not upset with us, that He offers more love, compassion, and forgiveness… it’s a balm to our weary souls.
