"We Are All Here"

The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 

Acts 16:27 NIV 

Beloved,

Stop taking the pain personally upon yourself. What happened is NOT your fault.

Believe me, you haven't lost anyone that really counts, that really matters....We are all here.

All of us, who have been assigned to your life...We are still here.

The jailer (in the text) was about to take his own life because he thought those assigned to his prison ministry were gone.

Now, they could have left, walked out...But for whatever reason, they chose to stay. Even though, it meant their personal freedoms would be limited once again.

You see, Those assigned to you will stay, in spite of the consequences....Because PAIN DON'T CHANGE a real commitment, when it is a real commitment; hardship doesn't change a real commitment. 

Ruth was assigned to Naomi and was committed to stay with her wherever she went to the end of her days.

Ruth 1:16-17 NIV

Elisha was assigned to Elijah's life and committed to following him...Even though, it meant leaving his family behind.

The same with MOST of the disciples & Jesus.

Matthew 4:18-22 

1 Kings 19:19-21 NIV 

Whether it's a ministry assignment, a marriage  commitment, or a vow of friendship....Commitment when it's real is NEVER easy,

but somehow what comes easy always proves to be NOT as worth it.

Therefore, Those of us who are assigned  to your life, really meant to be a part of your life... We are all here, we are still here.

Sticking & staying close in spite of the consequences.  We have made our choice. 

The pain may be personal, but it's NOT permanent. 

Just thought you should know.

Until  Next Sunday,

LPS~Love, Prophetess Stacy
