Just surfing the web for a Christian forum and happened upon this one. Hope everyone is well. Blessings in the name of Yeshua/Jesus the only Messiah. I say that even though I am experiencing a dark night of the soul period. It's very strange. I experienced it years back and thought I would not again. Yet here I am again (though many years later), feeling very out of sorts. I have been told; it is in this period that your faith becomes stronger and is when your greatest blessings follow. I would say it was so, the first time I felt this out of sorts. However, that is only understood from retrospect.

Blessings,
Hadassah

Thank you, Josiah. I appreciate your greeting. I have been reading threads and getting familiar with people in here. Some very insightful topics and answers. I like your motto "We are justified by works - just not our own."
James 2:

Faith and Works
…17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead. 18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.…

Only by our works in Christ are we justified. Works for self-interest, not of God's kingdom- we are not. No matter how good they appear, without faith in Christ-they will not be a sweet fragrance unto heaven. I love everything that the scriptures support. Thank you again.:giggle: I hope to learn patience and understanding here. Thank you for prayer hands. I need all the help I can get.
