Dear Friend,
Hope you learnt from my last letter to you. It brings me joy each time I hear about the great things you're doing for God just like Paul, the apostle would say in his letters. I remember how we went from room to room to preach the gospel when we were on campus.
I have always known that our journey in God is not a sprint, rather it is a marathon race that has a whole lot of experiences. The ups and the downs. It is part of the package my dear friend.
I pray your heart will be encouraged by this particular letter. I remember how Rick Joyner explained the similarities between the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan and the journey of Christians into the fullness of Christ.
It's all full of junctions. Some of this junctions may give us injuries that I hope you quickly turn into scars. Some give us fears. We even get ashamed at some points. Yes, it can be that bad. Guilt may also be around at those periods. Such experiences can be found on the way.
At such points, I have discovered that how much we trust the Lord is what is being tested. The aim is to drive our root down into the love of the Lord. The Father wants us to trust Him more and more at every point. So, don't despair, don't lose your song.
Bible told us that what we are passing through is very common as many other Christians are also passing through the same thing at the same time. Allow the love of God to swallow the scars, fears, shame and guilt. Dwell only in His love and not in how much good you have.
I am writing this to you so that you would not think that you are the only one with these kinds of experience. I have encountered some of them and I'm still encountering some presently. So, be encouraged.
This is the way to find peace and joy. My regards to your church members. I hope to see you soon.
Your Friend,
