"STAY THE COURSE"

"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while." 1 Peter 1:6 NLT

"Do not be discouraged when trials and tribulations come."

"If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first." John 15:18 NLT

In direct opposition to how the world thinks when trials and tribulations come upon us, most say we are doing something wrong, but to the contrary, we are really doing everything right. Keep fighting, Sherri, because it's worth it, and remember you are NOT alone.

"THE LORD IS WITH US"

"I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me." Psalm 16:8 NLT

GOD bless you all!

Thanks for the good word Dr. Tenpenny. I must confess though, that I also take some solace in Paul’s words to the Romans 12:19-20

[19] Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” [20] To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”

The why is easy - you’re right over the target and Satan hates it! Take heart and know it’s not personal, it’s spiritual war. God bless you for all you do.

We must all put on the armor of God every day. Evil is all around us and motivates many to speak ill towards others. But, notice they do it hidden behind a computer screen, whether by direct post or social media or e-mail. Thankfully, God has given us the gift of the ability to forgive. That gift has been a blessing to me, as it frees me from anyone who hurts me having any control over me, which could impede my spiritual walk with God. Blessings to you, Dr. Tenpenny, for your honesty and your caring heart. 🙏🏻 💖

They hate you because they hate Him.

Thank you for that powerful word even though our Father hates for us to be treated in these ways, He also knows that they serve to bring us to place of truly trusting Him in ways we would not have without these challenges.

May He continue to form you more into the likeness of His dear Son (Rom. 8.28,29) and use you all the more for His glory and our good. 😊

God bless you for being a light in the darkness for me and so many others, especially during the last four years.

God bless you Dr. Tenpenny and also for the wonderful prayers you provide.

It’s cliche to say but “Haters gonna hate and misery loves company”. It’s just Satan working his magic which is why the attacks defy reasoning - Satan has no reasons just harm. Turning the other cheek isn’t always easy but when you don’t respond it does more damage to the hater than they can do to you because they need you to fight back to fuel their fire. If you give nothing they get nothing. It took Jesus walking into my life for me to realize that truth and the Holy Spirit will strengthen us if we will turn to Him in these trials.

You don’t deserve to be treated this way. It is really more about them not you. They are weak spiritually blind and choose to walk in darkness. They don’t have ears to hear nor eyes to see. When I am hurt by others undeservingly just like you I focus on the only Perfect One who ever lived. Think how much the world hated him…then and even more now when He never hurt anyone He only spoke Truth and yet they spit on him lied about him threw rocks at him and you know the story….slowly inhumanly killed Him unto death. I can only think who am I? Look what they did and still doing to the only Perfect One. Jesus told us if you hate the world to remember the world hated him first and if you follow after Him the world will hate you. BUT be of good cheer…HE Has overcome the world!!!! Hallelujah!! Praise God! What a joy to be hated by those who hate our Perfect Loving Father!! I rather have Jesus than anything this world has to offer. Keep being courageous and bold and keep standing firm in His strength not your strength. We fail He never fails. Love to you. Keep up the good fight. 🙏🏻
