I am strengthening the lone voices, the ones who have felt like they are swimming against the tide, the ones who have felt isolated and betrayed by their brothers and sisters. I have heard your cries in the night. I have seen your pain, but I have also seen your willingness to stand in the face of the onslaught of the enemy.
I have seen your willingness to stand up and stand out. I am coming to stand alongside those of you who have been willing to be different, to be bold, to be unpopular. I am strengthening you in your battle weariness. Well done my faithful ones.
Matthew 24:12-13 (NIV) Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
John 14:16-18 (NIV) And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever – the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
