THISTLES IN THE GARDEN

It is the testing of our faith that produces character. - the character to love, the character to build into others lives, the character to persevere and help others to do the same.. the character that can live out these words with all sincerity Isa 35:3 ; Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; 4 say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." 2 Corinthians 7- For even when we came into Macedonia, our body had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way—struggles from the outside, fears from within. 7:6 But God, who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. 7:7 We were encouraged not only by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your deep concern for me, so that I rejoiced more than ever. Encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today,"  Hebrews 3:13TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 3l1-8SONGS: MY HANDS ARE OPEN, Bethel WorshipI WANT TO KNOW YOU, City AlightTHE CAUSE OF CHRIST, West Coast Baptist Bible College
