As I peruse the writings at Women's Focus Ministries I marvel at the way the Lord is speaking to various authors through their individual experiences and emotions. God is weaving a rich tapestry of spiritual and practical ideas and concepts. These compositions are an encouragement to the readers. They display the love and devotion toward God of the writers. I am reminded of one of my most beloved scriptures. "Then they that feared the Lord spoke often to one another: and the Lord listened and heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought on His name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." Malachi 3:16:17.
In the early days earthly Kings actually recorded in a book the deeds of those subjects who were loyal to them and performed acts of valor for their kingdoms. These people were rewarded with special favor. In like manner God is observing and listening to His people and creating a registry of the names of those who love Him and think on His name. Our thoughts and conversations concerning the goodness of God are very precious to Him. He delights in us when we share His workings in our lives with one another. As the world ignores or rejects the Lord in pursuit of its own agenda how it must hearten the Heavenly Father to have a people who are immersed in His Spirit. Let us continue to reach out in love to those who need Jesus so as to expand the Kingdom of God and bring joy to our Saviour.

This was very encouraging to continue to share with one another when the Lord puts on our hearts.
