Acts
18:9-18. John 16:20-23
Have I not said through
My beloved committed one
"sorrow abides
for a season but joy comes
in the morning"?
So must it be for you as
faithfully you follow in
My steps. This is to make
you part of Me and also
part of My redeeming work.
And so it is for all obedient
in the way and faithful
to Our light and leading.
But do not be unduly brought
into the sufferings of others
in the way. Be with them
ceaselessly in love, identifying
with them in their situation.
Each one of My beloved faithful
ones has his or her particular
share in My redeeming work.
Bear them constantly in
heart and mind and pray
for them in love. Present
them to the Father's loving
purpose in the assurance
of His will and purpose
to bring them to His glorious
Presence. Our Holy Spirit
will transport your sorrow
into joy.
