“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”

ZECHARIAH 10-12
1Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime;
it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms.
He gives showers of rain to all people,
and plants of the field to everyone.
2The idols speak deceitfully,
diviners see visions that lie;
they tell dreams that are false,
they give comfort in vain.
Therefore the people wander like sheep
oppressed for lack of a shepherd.(10:1-2)
REVELATION 20
And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. Theya had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
JOURNAL
Scripture often can be confusing and troubling, especially if it is taken out of context. Reading through the Bible this past year has given me a greater sense of the mission and purpose of it which includes the details of the whole.
God is the author and creator of all, we function best when we acknowledge that and seek to know him and accept his love for us. When we do this, we are saved from loneliness, fear, despair and evil...which is the absence of love.

We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,e 10so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified youf to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
COLOSSIANS 1:9-14
