revelation 2: 8-11
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
what struck me about this passage was when it says "be faithful, even to the point of death." sometimes, i just feel like as i'm doing my qts, God is speaking directly through me.
i had a great weekend- in fact, i had a great start to the year. but all the sudden, i felt Satan take over me with something.. something that completely pierced my heart and broke me for a second there. it shouldn't. because i'm past that point. or at least i thought i was. or at least i was forcing myself to believe that i was. i made a promise to God that i'm no longer the person that i was before and that i'm willing to make an effort to change.
this piercing moment is temporary; therefore, i shouldn't be afraid of what i'm about to suffer- especially if i know that my God is a faithful God.. the first and the last. let's take a deep breath. and continue to become stronger by heavy dependence on HIm. forever faithful.
