The Olive Branch
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 11:58 amHello All
Blessings!
Being a Christian is most difficult when we are being afflicted away from others helping us. Paul had Barnabas. Then Barnabas had Mark. And Paul had Silas. When we suffer apart from others, and fall, who is there to help us up? Such a life is difficult. But God is always faithful to us if we will persevere and continue to pray.
Like olives, our bruising leaves a rich oil that when lit burns continuously. We are the light of the world. We can't allow the love flame of the light of God to go out. No matter how great the attack that comes upon us we must ever call upon the name of the Lord to keep His flame afire in us, and yield ourselves to be His olive branches upon the earth, a rich light and continuous light source of peace and reconciliation to a dark, decaying, and dying world.
Blessings!
Love, In Christ Jesus, Saint701.
