which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Ephesians 3:11 NLT)
What I am trying to say here is that keeping ourselves away from the world (we are still lhere, on earth!) is not gonna keep us holy and righteous. God himself with His grace who saved us from who we were before (Ephesians 2:11-12). God makes us holy. God makes us righteous. God makes us who we are in Christ. And he has a purpose when He call us , adopt us into His family, saved us. He has planned for us to go, share the Good News with the world, and display His wisdom & love to the world so that they may know who He is.
If we just be in our comfort zone all the time, then how these unsaved, unreached people will know who God is and what Jesus has done for them?
– Through Christ, I have the way to Go to the Father (John 14:1-14). That is absolute promise of God.
– God give me the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-30), the One who will pray foe us in our weakness according to the will of God (Romans 8:26-30). That is the work of the Holy Spirit in us, believers.
Don’t you just love how He KNOWS each of us so well and know exactly each of our need right now? Oh Yes He always answers you every time you seek Him,talk to Him and wait for His answer.
And…one more reminder for me and you….
So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. (Ephesians 3:13)
Yes I often lose heart when I was in trials. God command me not to lose heart in the battle for He is with me and it is all for the benefit of His glory and others to come to know Him. Our sufferings and trials are for His glory to be made known. In our weakness, God is there and He reveals His power for the others to see that God is God, the sovereign One.
I cannot stand by myself in the trials, and for that I really need YOU to pray with me and for me, so I can stand in His promises! Would you be praying for me?

Hi Helen, thanks for visiting my blog and the encouraging things you wrote. After reading your profile it looks like we like some of the same things like crafting sometimes :).
Liked reading your post and hearing your heart for those who have yet to hear the gospel and how we play a role in that. Prayed for us both this morning that we would not loose hope in trials nor stand alone. Blessings
Hi Sandy,
