Several times this week I found myself having this conversation in my head (pardon the repeat from a previous blog post): “Then Sister Scherzinger, why are you here? Why are we back on this same habit, by these same questions , having this same conversation? Wasn’t it obvious then and isn’t it obvious now that if I want to fix it, I can? What I need, Sister Scherzinger, are disciples—and I need them forever. I need someone to feed my sheep and save my lambs. I need someone to preach my gospel and defend my faith. I need someone who loves me, truly, truly loves me, and loves what our Father in Heaven has commissioned me to do. Ours is not a feeble message. It is not a fleeting task. It is not hapless; it is not hopeless; it is not to be consigned to the ash heap of history. It is the work of Almighty God, and it is to change the world. So, Sister Scherzinger, for the second and presumably the last time, I am asking you to leave all this and to go teach and testify, labor and serve loyally until the day in which they will do to you exactly what they did to me.”
I have my habits that are being broken. I am being refined. And I am learning to live the First great commandment. But that takes time. Psalms 159:165 "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." So, roll with the punches. Become that person you're destined to be. Love God. Truly love Him, and no word out of someone else's mouth will offend you, because Salvation isn't provided by a congregation, but by our own personal relationship with the Creator.

Take a minute to watch this beautiful video about Coming Unto Christ.
I love you all, and hope you have a great week. Remember that if we are feeling frustrated with someone, all we can do is let the Savior refine us. We are not mean to "fix" other people.
Much love,
Sister Scherzinger
