ah, you expounded brother Roger's (future pastor) sermon for last Saturday isn't it.

Yes indeed we all hope to have a bed of roses and a life filled with milk and honey; but we all have fallen short in the grace of God and that is why we need to be re-molded into His original design for us, after His own image ...

The fruits will only be there through the labour of pains where we are daily sanctified. And that is when we are like refined silver and/or gold at the transition of our journey when we meet Him face to face.

Keep it up, and remember; He has redeemed you with his shed blood at the finished work of the cross, and you belong to Him now. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

It has been a blessing to watch you grow in His love and grace.
