“if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” (2 Timothy 2:13)

Dear Christian,

Our God is faithful through and through.

I take great comfort in knowing that God, in His very nature, is true to His word. His word never returns to Him void. What He says He will do, He will accomplish. We see this play out in the scriptures. No matter how much man tries to sabotage God’s plan or interferes with it, God’s plan always succeeds. 

Before the world was created He already set His love on us. When man fell in the garden and brought curse into the world, God already had a plan of redemption in place. As we trace the story from Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to Joseph, to Moses, to all the judges and prophets, we see a patient God who is steadfast in His love and His pursuit of man.

Though we may try to run away like Jonah, He comes and rescues us. Though we may try and cover ourselves in darkness, He sees us and still calls us into His light. Our God is unlike man, who we know can sometimes break our hearts and our promises. But our God does not fail. He is faithful until the end.

Love,
Patsy

“For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done.” But now, O God, strengthen my hands.” (Nehemiah 6:9)

Dear Christian,

Stand firm and strengthen your hands.

“Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm. And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” (Nehemiah 6:2-3)

Nehemiah was rebuilding the wall of a city that was destroyed and enemies would persistently go to Nehemiah to taunt, frighten, and distract him from his work. But Nehemiah refused to be distracted.

We live in a strange world full of distractions, noise, and chaos. It is easy to be swept by it, to be consumed by other people’s thoughts and opinions, to be consumed by the latest fad, to be consumed by the constant pursuit of external validation and success.

All these things distract us from doing the great work the Lord has given to us. But we can choose not to let it.

Instead of spending time and energy in distractions, let us strive to love God and one another well. Let’s show hospitality to strangers, let’s serve one another, let’s glean treasures from the Word of God, making disciples and teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded. God is doing a great work in us, we cannot come down from it.

Love,
Patsy

“Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.” (Habakkuk 3:17-19)

Dear Christian,

Even if things don’t turn out the way we hope it would, rejoice in the Lord!

This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible as it shows us someone who loves the Lord, not for His good gifts, but loves God for Himself. 

Even if I don’t get the house I want, even if I don’t get the job I want, even if I don’t get the lifestyle I want, yet I will rejoice in the Lord.

In today’s world, we are often shocked when we experience unmet desires. We are accustomed to getting what we want whenever we want it. Whether it be access to shops or restaurants 24/7, access to a vast library of movies, TV shows, and music, or access to food delivery service from almost any restaurant we can imagine.

But friend — Jesus is enough. 

Even if our greatest hopes and dreams are not realized in this life, Jesus is enough. Even if we don’t ever conceive, Jesus is enough. Even if we lose everything we have tomorrow, Jesus is enough.

Jesus has secured for us a living hope — an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. A future where, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)

“For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

Love,
Patsy

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Dear Christian,

Trust in the Lord.

When I think about trusting in God, my mind goes as far back as Genesis 3 when the serpent challenges Eve to doubt God’s word by saying, “Did God actually say…?” 

We see the same story play out again and again when we believe the lie that God is holding out on us, that He isn’t actually good, and that He doesn’t have our best interests at heart. But we can’t be further from the truth.

We have a God who is faithful and true, always working for our good. “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)

The Lord is for you. You can trust Him.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Love,
Patsy
