ENDURE!

 🙏🏿SATURDAY IS THE 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY LATE WIFE’S CANCER DIAGNOSES. No, it hasn’t been easy. But, God has blessed my family to survive not only this tragic loss; but the “trauma” we experienced, dealing w/hospital staff (No, I’ve never mentioned that publicly. But, trust me, God gives you grace to endure hard times & difficult people). Rachel endured in faith till the end. However, at that point I did not want to be kept, in “this life.” I was ready to leave (aka “pass on”) & go to Heaven as well. But, GOD kept me & continues to do so. Perhaps you are dealing w/people that are unbearable. Maybe you have endured emotional trauma. Yes, we as the Church do a disservice to the saints, when we teach people everything else; but how to suffer & endure. Many times, you WILL have suffering in this life. But, be bold & courageous, in God’s strength. You WILL stand the test. What you endure is only going to make you stronger. #IveGotWorkToDo

Rom 5:3-4 ERV And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more patient. And this patience is proof that we are strong. And this proof gives us hope.

Jam 1:2-4 ERV My brothers and sisters, you will have many kinds of trouble. But this gives you a reason to be very happy. You know that when your faith is tested, you learn to be patient in suffering. If you let that patience work in you, the end result will be good. You will be mature and complete. You will be all that God wants you to be.
