โ Today's Promise: "What shall I give the Lord for all the benefits He has done me?" Psalm 116:12
~ Marta in Brazil
I never tire of thanking my Heavenly Husband for bringing me on this journey and for having done it through this ministry, which I always say, brought me back into the mighty arms of my Beloved... Thank you Erin for accepting His call. Thank you to every minister who is dedicated to taking this word of encouragement to the four corners of this world...
I am very moved to know that I am part of a Communion that goes beyond borders. That no matter the distance or the language, we are all linked in one faith, in one spirit, and in one purpose. This purpose attracted us, cut us and has enabled us to be not only taking spiritual food daily to so many people but also receiving this food, which nourishes us and gives us strength to continue running the race, making sure we arrive at the end of the race and receive the prize. It has already been assured to us because our Beloved has already given us His Word that with Him we have already conquered. So it has become for us not only a possibility but a fact, so we can say: "That's right"... Thank you Dear, for our certainty in You.
I shared in our last ministry meeting how privileged we are to have here so many rich materials and full of the Word, which makes us walk always seeking to get it right and seeking more and more of Him.
This morning while reading Poppy's report (posted on the French Blog) I was able to thank my Husband for giving me the opportunity to also reap the fruits of my restoration with Him. Because as we know, the restoration of our marriages was just one bait our Beloved used to draw us to Him.
Last year I worked most of my time at home and today I'm sure it was the time my Beloved gave me to learn to like and want to stay at home and be a homemaker. Since I was officially released to just be a home worker, with no worries about outside work, my Beloved has given me the grace to share, when I am asked if I want to go back to working outside. At first I confess that these questions made me uncomfortable because people always had a comment to make on how I would support myself, including people in my family.
Yesterday, I went out to do shopping with my sister and then we went to lunch together and I was very happy with the nice afternoon we had. I was even happier when on one subject she told me she is looking forward to her retirement , to also stay at home like me. That the life I've been leading encouraged her to have this peace that I've been able to live and reflect through my life.
Dear ones, I couldn't believe what she was saying because she is my younger sister and she has always been very active, working almost 12 hours a day and always told us that she never thought about stopping work.
Is it or is it not our Beloved acting not only in us but in the lives of all those we have had the opportunity to live with and speak of His Love?
And I can only say this to Him: "What shall I give the Lord for all the benefits He has done for me?" Psalm 116:12
My heart and my life Dear, I give You everything in me, knowing that You will continue to take care of me and all of mine.
"And he put a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God; many shall see it, and fear, and trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:3
