Shalom Rejoice,
Thank you for your encouraging words! Our precious Abba gives us many promises in His word to hold onto, and He is faithful.
One of my favorite verses is Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love YHWH, to them that are called according to His purpose.
I can see how many times in my life, He has taken a painful situation and turned it around for my good. HalleluYAH!
You have shared some of the things you've been through in the past, and are probably still going through, and my heart mourns for you, But I can see your trials have brought you closer to the Father and in that I rejoice.
Keep running the race sister, for in due time, you will receive the prize, 1Cor 9:24.
Isiah 41:10, 43:1,2

Love, Elishiva

physical suffering is necessary, and has been the normative for followers of Yahshua since... well, always.

It is refreshing to see that Corrie Ten Boom's testimony, and many many others around the world IN 2010, is through/with great enormous physical pain and suffering (and final sleep for family members because of their faith) very much glorifying Yhvh by the grace He gave her in Yahshua whose suffering she shared participating with all the martyrs worldwide, many of whom will be beheaded in the near future (including some in the united states, perhaps many, but that is not our concern - simply obey do what the Master says)
.
gjigt,
helps illustrate from Scripture
the current activities
around the world, politically et al against Israel
and
against Yhvh's people everywhere.
.
gjigt is wrong on some points, that's simple to see when reading his site,
but there is some revealing information there also that is not widely know in the public.
.
in all things, abide in Yahshua and pray constantly, pray often for wisdom and strenth to endure what is happening against you today, every day, until Yahshua Messiah returns to rule the earth.
.
Shalom in Yahshua for all who love and seek truth.
