I have a dream (blessed are the believers, part 3)

It's not always easy being His child. We often have to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and because of Christ grin and bear it because quite frankly nothing is that worth fighting for except if it endangers our lives. (1 Sam 18:22) But God is always with us and He loves us enough to bring us through if we go to Him. (Psalm 109:14,15) And if we truly love Him He blesses us with rest. (Judges 5:31)

I HAVE A DREAM (blessed be the believers, part 2)

And with mercy He warns all the believers that we approach Him in meekness and love, even if we excell in speech and eloquence. (2 Corinthians 8:7) After all, knowledge, physique, beauty doesn't really amount to a hill of beans without love. And after love follows meekness and mercy. And hope. And faith. So that we can learn and walk by being humble, gentle, and loving. (Ephesians 4:2). And then we can speak the truth in love to one another and to those in the world and truly be blameless. (Ephesians 4:15)
Only then can we be united in one faith, one hope. Only then are we a body joined together like the physical body. (Ephesians 4:16). And only then can we walk in His love. (Ephesians 5:2)

I HAVE A DREAM....blessed are the believers

It is such a wonderful and encouraging thing when one of the brethren lends a hand to another of the brethren because of illness or financial difficulties. I have been helped in both regards and I have helped others in similar circumstances. (1 Samuel 1:5) God bless the believers that follow in Christ's footsteps to give to believers. I also love when one of the brethren help out those who have talents by recommending their services. (1 Samuel 16:21).Then there are those of kindred spirit, who love us like we are family because we are family. (1 Samuel 18:1, 3)if we do this. (Jude 2:1). Not only this but we can be an encouragement to one another by our faith and love, walking and living in Christ. (Philemon 5,7).

Teach me that I may teach

God-led leadership demonstrates to each of us what protectiveness means and what it is to have compassion one for another. This is why we love and respect good leaders. (1 Samuel 18:16)
