🕎 *GENUINESS OF FAITH*

*Hebrews 10:38 And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.*

On one side it is a season of celebration and on the other, the same season becomes the reason for pain and suffering, for many believers who endured physical assaults and material losses because of their faith.

This is also a time that reveals the true genuineness of our faith.

Dear Church, uphold those who suffer in the forefront that none would shrink back or abandon their faith when faced by unimaginable pain and loss.
