Encouragement for Today (5/11/24)

Greetings sister saints who have left their life for Christ!

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 
Matthew 10:39 

We were out on the streets today (you can find that post HERE) and while out there, brother Tupos talked about how Americans ignore the gospel but they would line up for an autograph from a famous person if they walked down the street.  It made me think of....

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.  
​Luke 16:15 

We saw a lot of that today and every day (especially Sundays where people highly esteem their unbiblical churches) and even though I used to be all that (we see out here), I'm not beyond examining myself to make sure I'm not highly esteeming anything outside of Christ.  When you see thousands of people each week, most heading to their demise, it's a humbling thing and reminds us to seek inside ourselves to make sure there is nothing in us as we help them see their sins.  

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 
​Matthew 7:3-5 

I have a lot to get done yet today and I'm sure you do too sisters, let's press on doing all things unto the Lord, praying for one another as we go about our days. 

Love to you all, in Christ who is the Lord of all,
​Sister Aman
