1 Peter 3:13-17...my new favorite verse this week ;)
who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
but even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.
"do not fear their threats; do not be frightened."
but in your hearts revere Christ as Lord.
always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
but do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscious, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
for it is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
i don't know how to even write this blog today-i have so much racing through my mind. life seem's to have shaken for a lot of people in the past few days and i can't help but stop and think about the pain and suffering i know they are going through. it's hard to find the hope in what we think is a hopeless situation...i get that-maybe in a different form but i get it.
this blog is thrown together-i know-but it's my thoughts, my words
back to the verse...i asked a friend last week a favorite bible verse they had. this was it! pretty much love it, and found myself wondering why i didn't trip upon it sooner. i realize as i get older, i am learning more about who i am as a women-sometimes scary, but good. i find myself digging into the word more, wanting to reach the lost and even the found. i need the found to hold me up and support me and the lost to help me grow and share my love for the Lord. After processing this verse through my mind a few times my conclussion...i am blessed when i have to suffer for what is right because i have a mighty Father who cares!
life is full of unexpected suprises and tradgedies, and i was reminded of that this week. i am also reminded that i am on earth for one purpose and that is to follow my Lord and Savior and do what His will is for my life. i have to be ready for the time when someone walks into my life and asks about the hope that God has given me! i will never have the answers to why things have to happen to good people but it is all part of God's will and purpose and i have to trust just that.
in the hard times i need to remeber God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
this is my journey, this is my story, this is my life...
