REJOICE in affliction! Stop your whining. - FOTM1

Jesus Himself commands us to rejoice in affliction and that all things work together to for the good to them that love the Lord. (Presumably that applies to those who are actually obeying ALL His commands.)

There's all kinds of stuff flying. Mostly made up or twisted for all kinds of reasons. Frankly, I'm thrilled about it! I can see all kinds of ways the Lord is using this to refine or chasten or toughen up His children. At the very least SOMEBODY is going to get a chance to get REALLY good at repenting!

I'm not trying to be callous or uncaring, but it just seems like people don't understand that we're in the last days and if Revelation is right, we're going to get to see TWO-THIRDS of the world die in front of our eyes! Maybe we should worry less about hurt feelings and misunderstandings and calling people names because they don't hold to our dogma - and just focus on speaking the TRUTH in LOVE and being ONE BODY and REJOICING in AFFLICTION. I don't think we're going to survive what's coming if we don't learn to REJOICE even while people are hunting us down and torturing us!

Anyway, just a thought. Love you all. Not the least bit mad. Not at all. Kind of sad, cause it's hurting the Bride, but it's all part of the plan, so I'm just gonna rejoice and try not to make things any worse.

I recommend that EVERYBODY judge themselves to make sure that they are still IN the Faith. If you are gossiping and backbiting and have haughty eyes and lying lips - you're probably not. That would be bad.

We better all make sure our cups are full of JESUS and not anything else.
