I understand how hard it is to be kind to those who have hurt you in some way. However, I taught a kingdom principle many years ago and that principle still works today. The principle is to do good to those despitefully use you and bless those who persecute you. When you do this, you are set free from resentment and bitterness and you set those who have been unkind to you free to hear My voice.
When My servant Stephen was stoned, My servant Saul was the one who arrested Stephen. He stood and watched the stoning. Something he saw and something he heard that day paved the way for Saul's encounter with Me. Saul looked intently at the face of Stephen and he saw that he had the face of an angel. Then Saul heard Stephen's last words, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Lord, do not charge them with this sin."
As Saul traveled the road to Damascus, he could hear those words of Stephen and he remembered the face of Stephen when Stephen took his last breath. Saul's surrendering his life to to Me began at the stoning of Stephen.
The countenance on your face and what you say can affect a life for all eternity. Let the law of kindness be upon your tongue today and ask Me to shine through your face today.

SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING
Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.
My Blog will cover three subjects:
WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.
WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.
At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.
FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.
MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.
