Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as elect ones of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassions, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering, bearing with one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also you should forgive.
As most of you know I have been arranging a mid-week retreat for you to attend, now this time out will be especially dedicated for you to find your space with Jesus again. When we do this on weekends this clashes with family time, but in the midweek it is like going on a conference with Jesus as the Keynote Speaker and the Holy Spirit the Facilitator. Now the question is as always do you make it possible?
As I lay in bed writing this I wonder how easy it be to just close the laptop and focus on self. Yet this is not the Lord’s way; His way is to persevere, just one more, persevere. Last week on Monday evening while in Johannesburg my male bulldog was bitten in the face by an Egyptian Cobra, thank God R2000.oo later he is well and home. We are both battered and bruised, but we do what we need to.
This time with the retreat I hope and pray that you will respond and come, I need you to do this to encourage me and that at the end of the day you have made it worth it.
Be encouraged today to persevere even when the odds are against it.
David
Point to ponder: Long suffering also needs encouragement.
