Hey Everyone! Time for our next verse! Queen Esther and I are inching our way through the one-chapter book of Philemon so this puts me on the third verse:
Beth Moore from Houston, Texas: “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philemon 3 ESV
I love, love, LOVE the verse below if you could use a recommendation this time around. I love what it promises. I love its rhythm. I love that it moves from “God is able” to the promise that frail humans like us who trust in Him “will abound in EVERY GOOD WORK.” Abundant life (John 10:10) abounds in good works. That, Darling, will preach.
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV
DON’T YOU DARE QUIT!!!!
I love you. I’m proud of you. May Jesus be all over you today, loved ones.

My dear Beth,
I’ve known you now for about 9 years. With each study of yours in which I partake, I just love you more sister! I’m only writing to encourage you. Each time I am in one of your Bible studies, God lays you on my heart regularly to pray, and I do. I know the enemy of our soul and spirit would love to see you taken down, yet I pray against that spirit for you to be lifted up as you lift Him up. Thank you so much for sharing your heart for Jesus and His word. Thank you for sharing your life, your family, your ministry.
I just finished watching the first video of the Entrusted study. I missed it with my group and watched it at home alone, and there was so much goooood stuff in that session. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your pain, your victories in Jesus. Thank you for boldly challenging me to fulfill my calling. I am always drawn closer to His heart and built up as a mighty woman of God after hanging out with you Sister!
Just thank you.
Love, Cyndie
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, Cyndie!
