Hebrews 3:13-14 says, "...encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." NIV
Each of us receive daily encouragement from God! So, I'd like to open today's blog to each one of you to offer encouragement to one another.
Enter your comments in the comments section below; keep your message short so we have time to read each comment.
You could share what God's been teaching you, or one of your favorite Scriptures. You could share a word of praise to God, or a word of encouragement He's given you! But please take a brief moment to share how God has blessed you, taught you, or healed you!
I can't wait to receive from you today! HAVE A FANTASTIC FRIDAY and A GREAT WEEKEND!
In our time of need God is ALWAYS there waiting for us. We just have to humble ourselves and reach out and listen to and for HIM. God Bless you Julie!
ReplyDeleteGod has ALWAYS done miracles in my life. Many I didn't recognize as miracles until a period of time had passed. Some were done when I was wandering without thought of Him. More recently the miracles are obvious when they occur or soon thereafter. And He assures me that He will always be with me and working for my good. I am truly blessed. How could I not believe with all the evidence He has provided and continues to provide. PatD
ReplyDeleteTwo verses come to mind:
ReplyDeleteCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14
My encouraging word to all today would be that we ALL have issues, we all have past failures and mistakes, we all have fallen short. Guess what, we are all human! Never compare compare yourself to others and keep on pressing toward the goal!
Something I read on one of my devotionals the other day that keeps popping up in my head..."Instead of telling God how big your problems are, tell your problem how BIG your God is... Miracles still happen today" Just asked God who I could encourage today and your blog was the first place I stopped!! NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!!!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what you are going through, remember that nothing takes God by surprise, and that He is still on the throne. As my pastor says 'Jesus is already in your tomorrows'.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend everyone,
Karen
I've been seeking God for guidance and I started reading one of the first Psalms I learned...Psalm 23. The 3rd verse in NLT translation says:
ReplyDelete"He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His name."
Whatever is set before you, know that God renews your strength for the task. He's leading you...all for the glory and honor of His name.
Jesus...the same yesterday, today, and forever.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for taking time to leave such encouraging words! Hope you all have blessed weekends! I am so grateful for your friendships.
ReplyDeleteHis Love Extended:
Julie
I heard this the other day and fell in love with it.
ReplyDelete"Who you are at birth is a gift FROM God. Who you grow up to be is a gift TO God."
So, grow to be all that God knows that you can!
