Why We Must Pass On The Baton Of Faith...


Passing On The Baton Of Faith, Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

Encouragement

It's easy to encourage others when you feel good.

But when you feel worn out, or overwhelmed, it can become

Nearly impossible if we rely on our own strength.

So many times as I read scripture I see the encouragement

Being spoken into the early believers and the church.

By the very ones like Paul, who was suffering;

Sickness and persecution and false teachers from within.

So as I write this post I am telling myself this:

No Matter Your Own Situation;

I must stay positive, confident, hopeful and faithful!

And look for encouragement from the Lord!

I just love it when I awaken with great joy and anticipation!

But some days just seem Blah...

So that's when I propel myself into just doing something.

Remember when you understood the scripture that called it

A Spirit of Heaviness?

Well, so when you feel that thing, just stop and pray;

And begin praising the Lord, It will begin to lift quickly!

Then get yourself moving, get yourself ready for the day!

Feel good about taking care of your appearance.

Sweep the kitchen floor.

Get your dinner menu thought out.

Make an effort to encourage someone today!

It's only through the hard times we learn to be either;

TOUGH OR TENDER

The world hopes to break us and to rely upon them!

But Christ wants us to bring our cares and burdens to Him!

May you choose to be tenderhearted and compassionate.

Especially in a world riddled with fear!

We either walk in 

FEAR OR FAITH

So we can either have;

TOUGH FEAR OR TENDER FAITH

Set your mind on Heavenly things;

All this will come to pass just as the Lord sees fit!

Your job is to get busy doing what you know is right!

Having a HOME and a family is a great responsibility;

Let's be good stewards of what we have been given;

And our allotted time here.

There is so much division anymore in the world;

May we not allow division in our hearts or our HOMES...

I am missing all my dear friends in blogging world.

A few sweet friends have already passed on!

May we continue to carry on and pass the baton to our

Next generation, and it's not up to us how well they do.

But it is up to us to encourage them to do their best!

Blessings, Roxy

  1. Amen Roxy. Sometimes it seems very difficult to pass on that baton because so many of the next generation think us old fashioned or "they know much more than we do." But we must persevere in kindness and love with those who have willing ears and hearts.
    I think in the world today it is so much easier to be discouraged and feel hopeless. Each morning I trip to focus on our Lord God first of all and then the day goes much better. Avoiding the news helps too.
    Blessings,

  3. Hello, I am here from Mrs White's blog The Legacy of Home. I live in Australia and we have been in strict lockdown again so that heaviness of spirit has settled on me a few times. I agree that getting up, asking for grace, getting dressed and groomed and caring for your home, beautifying it in some way really does help. I have been sending hand written cards to people especially the more isolated and vulnerable people I know and it always makes me feel better too. Thank you for your encouragement. Tender faith is a great way of putting it.

  4. Your encouragement to set your mind on heavenly things is appreciated. I will go to bloglovin and follow you there. We are called to plant seeds of love for Christ in the next generation which is a blessing to do.

  6. Dear friend,
    Nearly every time I visit, I feel like you are writing directly to me.

    Let's keep busy with the things the LORD has given us responsibility to do in our homes, and let us splash Jesus on others as we have opportunity.

    Hugs
