When you visit the ruins of old castles…

When you visit the ruins of an old castle 🧐
You'll see stone walls of all sizes and shapes❗️.
...
"Stone walls" are... 🤔
They can only be built by carefully stacking heavy stones one by one.
... God's blessings are given when you walk steadily and faithfully with God.
... Not just any stone will do for a stone wall.
"Stones of faith," "stones of forgiveness," "stones of hope," "stones of prayer"

As you stack these stones... God's blessings will be poured out❗️.
... Unfortunately... 😨
Even if you carefully stack the stones...
If you don't obey God... skip worship, stop praying, judge others, or get angry and refuse to forgive...
The stone wall... will collapse...
✳️The blessings will collapse... 😰
... Don't panic! Σ(×_×;)!
Some people rebuild their crumbling walls by starting to go to church, reading the Bible, and praying. 💦
...
Faith is... patience.

As you steadily build up your walls...
As a result,

you will gain trust and your influence will expand.

Your work and the realm of your faith will expand.

Your capacity for blessing will expand.

...You will become a humble person...
and be transformed into a vessel that can support more people❗️.
...Please do not give up on your faith halfway.

God is telling you this morning that He wants to bless you.

Shalom.
