To my brothers and sisters who need encouragment:
You are doing God's work, and it is not done in vain (Matt 6:27; Rom 8:28; 1 Cor 15:58). Despite the obstacles and trials, it is not done for nothing.
God will overcome wickedness in the end, so keep on fighting. God is the Victor, and so are you! (Psalm 37:13).
God laughs at those who mock Him and those who think they can outsmart God will eventually lose (Psalm 2:4).
If only you could hear the people in Heaven cheering for you! If only the angels' joyous cries were heard on Earth! If only you could see the numerous eternal rewards laid out for you! If only you could hear the people in Hell encouraging you to tell more people about sin and its consequences.
Do NOT give up, and do NOT listen to criticism. Blessed are those are persecuted for God's sake, for their reward in Heaven is great (Matt 5:11-12).
It's a hard life, but remember...there is no gravity in Heaven, so the weight of your cross will not always exist!

Are you so insecure in your faith that you're becoming a 'faith cheerleader' or something?
"If only you could hear the people in Heaven cheering for you! If only the angels' joyous cries were heard on Earth! If only you could see the numerous eternal rewards laid out for you! If only you could hear the people in Hell encouraging you to tell more people about sin and its consequences."
These are the kinds of things con artists say, skippy.

Thank you for the encouragement. There are many others trying to pull us down, but God has the strength to let us rise again. "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."-Matthew 5:12. It was great reading this! God bless you!

Thanx X. Amen! That really puts it into perspective doesn't it? My prob is that i get angry and disappointed a lot. I know i'm on the winning side and we're in a spiritual battle - we get highs and lows. And it's hard. But I'm strong in the Lord i believe. I agree with all that you've said and hope i can return the favour to you one time and encourage you.
God bless you!!

I am handicapped and living through life with the belief of God got me through. Regardless of what physical attrributes, race, or origin. Believe in God and God's word and you will see the difference simultanously that you will be overwelmed with the results. Believe in God and God will see and guide you in every need.. Don't be sad, angry, or depressed if so, look into God heart and He will heal you.

Everyone needs words of encouragement. Christians are being persecuted here and abroad for their faith but we know we need to PRESS ON and run the race to the end. God bless you for sharing the words of faith.

I don't care what you believe in, a ghost, rock, book, zombie- I feel that if it makes you feel good and promotes happiness, then do it. Please, pray and live your life to its fullest, much as I do, someone who is a very moral atheist. May I suggest you do it a little less preachy though

wow this is quite kind of you. I wonder though. Is this meant to encourage all ? You know like the good Christian or born again folks on death row for murder ? It would be good for them to know that there are such rewards waiting for them.
