WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT – DON’T GIVE UP!

Hey, you! Yes, you! God sees that you are struggling. He is El Roi, the God who sees and indeed He sees your pain. He knows how much you are hurting, but He wants you to remember that He is standing by. Do not give up. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He promised never to give you more than you can bear. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. He is the God of the impossible, the God who can do more than you can ever ask or think. His plans for you are good and not evil, to give you hope and a future. 

He wants you to trust Him. He wants to do something new in your life: make streams in the deserts and roadways in the wilderness. He wants to give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. He is your balm in Gilead, so rejoice in Him, even though the fig tree does not blossom and there are no fruits on the vine. 

Rejoice in Him and give thanks in every situation, whether good or bad, because it is His will concerning you. Rest in Him, being confident that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. Stand firm in the fact that He is a God of His Word, who cannot lie. Know that He is the immutable God in whom there is no shadow of turning. He is the God who honours His Word above His name. You can trust in Him because, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Be assured that His Word will not return to Him void but will accomplish the purpose for which it was sent.

Fix your eyes on Him, the author and the finisher of your faith. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Be encouraged. God has your back.
