HANG TOUGH

Dearest Sisters,

HAPPY MONDAY! 

I pray that you and yours are well.

Are you heavy hearted and downtrodden? Are you weak and weary? Are you doubtful and faint? There are times when we all fight battles that seem to never end. We battle sin and temptation. We battle bills, debt, and money management. We battle loneliness and the loss or lack of intimacy. We battle sickness and health complications. We battle "impossible" people and difficult relationships. We battle creating plans and having them fall through. We battle pain, abuse, and wreckage from unhealthy relationships. We battle the unknown and insecurities. Sometimes we wonder or question when it all will end. Take heart sisters, a better day is coming. 

Fight on! Fight forward! Christ has won the war that will give you victory despite the many battles that you endure. Hang tough! 

On Palm Sunday, we celebrated Jesus' triumphant albeit last entry into Jerusalem. Jesus' life and ministry had to come to an end in order for our earthly misery and mire to come to an end.

As we observe Jesus' last week of life and ministry, let's rejoice that our Savior's battles ended when He uttered, "It is finished." The Lord experienced many battles during His last week of life, but He overcame them ALL. Because Jesus died for us, we are assured that our battles won't wage on forever; most importantly, they won't defeat us. Christ is DAILY making intercession for us. 

Christ will make certain that the world doesn't overcome us and that we will never be plucked from God's hand. Battles ensue and rage on but we are more than conquerors in Christ. Stand strong in the Lord! Ultimately, He is fighting your battles.

BE ENCOURAGED!!!!!

Love and blessings

Hugs
