Romans 12 9-12 Amp Bible
9 Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11. never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength]

I want to encourage those who have been stoned by parties who are guilty, lost, and broken.
I'm praying that you remain strong and confident in who you are and your purpose. You see, those same folks can't figure out why you're not down and out (depressed, suicidal, and broken). It bothers them that you're not dead (spiritually) yet, or given up on the LORD and all this Jesus stuff.
My Friends, they are without sincere love, humility, compassion, empathy, and genuine kindness for anyone that does not look like them, think like them, act like them or believe as they do. We are a peculiar people for sure, and what they don't understand is that you can't kill (destroy, or take) what has already died and come back new and improved.
1 Peter 1 Msg Bible
3-5 What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole. 6-7 I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it’s your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.

The more shade they throw, the more you grow. You are not deprived, forgotten, down and out, lost, busted or disgusted. You are the child of the KING!
Dear Friends,
Man can not block the Son (Jesus) from giving you the Light (Holy Spirit) that you need to grow. That's why your drought season is not an offseason and you're able to do more with less.

Praise Yahweh for HE is good during perilous times and a protector against professional thugs, mutineers, and imposters.
Do not lose hope, or ponder on the trick mirrors (images) of those who are wicked, evil, and raggedy.
It is your SEASON so emerge with your head held high to live your best life!
In His Love and Service Always,
Pastor Aisha
