John 10:27-28

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal 
life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

So comforting <3

I will be with you!!!


“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you." Isaiah
                   
                          I just love this verse and it has really been an encouragement to me!! 

Whatever you go through, even through the fires and waters(trials) of this world, God is with you. He may decide it is best not so save you from them. But he will help you all the way through and through that, you will grow, becoming more like Christ. God is not going to remove all the problems of our life, but he will be right by us. On our own, we would drown and burn and become lost. But with him, we will not even be scorched. In the verse before it, it says"... I have called you by name; you are Mine!" Isaiah 43:1. God is not going to let You be lost. When you have problems in your life, remember that God has not, is not, and will never leave you on your own. He loves you(his chosen one) and will strengthen you. "I can do everything through Him(and Him alone)who gives me strength."(Philippians 4:13) That also includes getting through all those hard part in your life!

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20


Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.  Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.  For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

To God be the Glory



God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him
~ John Piper

Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God
