When or if persecution comes our way,

and our light is the target because of

the Cross of Jesus Christ. Trust our Savior,

soldiers of the cross, for it is because of Jesus Christ

who preciously resides within that is often a gentle

rebuke to others. Trust our Savior, soldiers of the Cross

for His Sovereign plan is for us to look more like Him.

Does the perception that we have of others benefit

ourselves or advance the kingdom of Jesus Christ

through Christ’s tender love and merciful graces?

Sometimes popular Christianity fellow warrior, soldier, and precious

follower of Jesus Christ is not Biblical Christianity. If we look and act more

like the world than Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, how then will the

world know if we truly belong to Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords?

May our words never be thorns or painful

mountains to be climbed or overcome. But

rather may the gifts of our words be chariots

and wings of tender grace, love, hope, mercy,

and encouragement to the weary saint and warrior

who is trying to honor and magnify  Jesus Christ

King of Kings and Lord of Lords in a world that seems

to hate and persecute Christians more and more.

Popularity does not

necessarily mean Godliness.

Godliness does not

necessarily mean popularity.

True Godly, Spirit-led, Christ-like beauty of heart, soul,

mind, and life makes me weep. Can you imagine brothers

and sisters in Jesus Christ what we will all experience when

we all meet and see Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords,

the great I AM, author and creator of all beauty face to face?

If popular Christianity was not well thought of anymore,

would we follow Christ’s precious narrow road if we were

the targeted, marginalized ridiculed, persecuted ones?

The more of the word of God that is in our lives

the more we have our Savior’s spirit and His life

within us. May we make the word of God our

most sought after and most valued treasure.

The blessings of Christ created beauty is all around us. For we can listen to His

majestic, royal voice in creation. I can hear our Savior’s Holy whisper like the

voice of many waters? Can you? This is what I imagine that our glorious Savior

might say, “This is only a reflection of my glory. Enjoy and give thanks child

of grace. For when you look for beauty, you will find beauty all around for the

earth is mine and all the fullness of it. I have created earth’s beauty for all the

inhabitants of the world to enjoy. In Heaven, the fullness of my beauty and

glory will be revealed. Until then, children of grace, with living  water falls of

extravagant grace, hope, and love ,boldly proclaim and tenderly live out by your

Spirit empowered words and actions salvation’s triumphant life changing good news “

Can you hear our Savior calling to all His precious lambs? “May my

royal unconditional love in you create in your hearts, minds, lives and

souls internal and external masterpieces of ceaseless love, joy  and grace.
