Encouraging Words for the Faithful Servants of Christ
Happy New Year!
We all need encouraging at times. I know I do. We've all heard the following verses before, but sometimes it's nice to just hear them again and to reflect and be reminded that He's always there for us.
As active workers of the church, we have all found out by now that ministry can be an incredible blessing, as well as something that can be so difficult and frustrating. I hope these verses will encourage all of you who faithfully serve the Lord as we face a New Year that is filled with new challenges and new hopes as we all together glorify Him.
In His Love,
Pastor Ed
