The BEST writing ever is NOT from a blog.....

The best encouragement is from the Lord, His word. The bible.  It is not from my blog, or any other blog.  I do hope you are encouraged when reading my blog, but not by me.  My goal is to lead you to the Lord and His Word, not me.  I'd rather you read His word over my blog any day! The Bible is FILLED with such great love, encouragement, wisdom. It is the ONLY "self-help" book will ever need.  Don't get me wrong, I am glad you are here, humbled and appreciative, however, please know that I am not searching for followers or fans. The One you should be following is Jesus. I can help you find Him through HIS word, not mine.

In the Bible, God promises comfort to all who put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

~Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.~

When you are lonely... 
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you,  Yes, I will help you,  I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10


When you are anxious...
 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7


When you need strength...
 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

When you face trials...
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,  knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
James 1:2-4


When you are tempted..No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13


When you need wisdom...
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

God is our refuge and strength,  A very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear,  Even though the earth be removed,  And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 
Psalm  23:4


When you need assurance...
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
John 5:24

Wait on the Lord

If you are feeling weary or anxious or alone, remember to wait on Him.  He is ALWAYS with you and HE is faithful.  Whenever you feel doubtful, pray and seek Him, read His word. The most comforting friend is Jesus and He loves you so much! 

Isaiah 40:31

       But those who wait on the LORD
    Shall renew their strength;
    They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
    They shall run and not be weary,
    They shall walk and not faint.



Joyfully following Him,
