A Good Friday Reflection.

Dear Friend

It's Good Friday, a day we set aside for a time of meaningful reflection as you remember Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. 

To help you reflect, this post contains the seven statements Jesus said while on The Cross as recorded in The Gospel accounts.

I pray you set aside time to seek The Lord in His Word and through prayer. May you take time to worship, adore, and thank Him for His perfect and complete sacrifice for you so that you might have life and salvation in Him. 

He died for our good and may we never forget it or take it for granted. 

Have a blessed Good Friday as you humbly contemplate all today signifies!

The Importance of Perseverance.

My Friend,

It's no doubt that God uses our hard season of trials and battles for His glory, and for our growth and good, but what if He has you and I go through things not only for us, but also for the benefit of others too?  God may use our trials to help others navigate their own trials by watching us! They will watch and see how we, (however imperfectly) persevere and  prayerfully display an unwavering faith through whatever we face in life.

Please take time to read, study, and take to heart Romans 5:1-5, James 1:12, Galatians 6:9, James 1:2-4, 1 Chronicles 16:11, Proverbs 3:5-6 for starters, and Galatians 6:2-5.

Our trials are an encouragement to others and I pray we allow God to use us for His kingdom and Glory and for the good and growth of ourselves and others in the process. They also move others and ourselves to pray and seek Him like never before!  In closing, I want to encourage you to: 1. Continue to look to The Lord and seek His face always. (See  Chronicles 16:11). 2. Continue to persevere through each trial knowing He will lead you through it to the other side for His kingdom, glory and for your good and growth.  3. Be there for others and serve them as you seek to help encourage them, lift them up, pray for them, be an example for them, and bear one another's burdens.  You're in my prayers.  Your brother and servant in Christ, Randolph Koch Connect with A Shepherd's Heart: https://linktr.ee/ashepherdsheart (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Website, YouVersion, Telegram, and More)  Please like, comment, and reshare this message, and please like, follow, and subscribe to A Shepherd's Heart wherever you are are seeing this message.   Please help us reach and help people for God's Kingdom and Glory!
