“Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that we might have hope.” Romans 15:4 (NIV)
Encourage those who are struggling. Don’t know what to say?
Then open your Bible.
To the grief stricken: “God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrew 13:5 (NIV).
To the guilt ridden: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1(NIV).
To the jobless: “In all things God works for the good of those who love him.”
Romans 8:28 (NIV).
To those who feel beyond God’s grace: “Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV).
Your Bible is a basket of blessings. Won’t you share one?
