2 Timothy 4:2 – “Preach the WORD; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”
Dually Purposed!
GODly repentance leads unto sorrow yet Calvary’s remembrance brings Joy.
So leading one into Confession’s remorse comes before a soul knows HIM as LORD!
Though hurt and offense often comes with rebuke, yet for our sake, HE bids us bow down.
Then surrendering everything temporal which passes shall we be reborn in that Hour!
Embrace HIS correction and Discipline’s course then to be dually purposed with Faith…
….where the Lost and the Found both gain ground up the mountain when you share HIS glorious grace!
As HIServant ever learning HIS ways through Surrender and witnessing daily,

2 Corinthians 7:8-10 “Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it—for I see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time—
9 yet now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that GOD had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
10 GODly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”
We are dually purposed then to encourage and rebuke, to reward and correct and to do all with HIS heart each time.
So give GOD’s grace daily to others just as you have been given, oh my soul!
Uplift with Joy and rebuke in Love so that all whom you meet taste of HIS grace and know WHO HE is!
Amen and amen!
