He will never leave us and He loves us.. such comforting words 🥺
All inspiration of God, “he will never leave us nor forsake us”
We are hopeful, we have a future and we are confident that it will all come to pass because we serve a faithful God.
Amen, it has dawned on me that it’s important who you serve or choose to serve. Imagine serving an unfaithful master who would dishonor what they have agreed to. Our God is faithful and stays true to his word 🙏🏾
He remains the same, Yesterday today and Forever.
Amen, he never changes and he’s got our back always hey 🙏🏾
It’s time we start seeing things through God’s perspective. We are God’s property and He’ll take care of us.
Amen, I’m confident that once we start to see ourselves the way God sees us we will come to the realization that indeed he’s forever mindful of us and had our back at all times 🙏🏾
“In all things” both good and bad, God will make all things work together for our good because we love Him and we are called according to His purpose 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
And no one can take God’s love away from us because he chose us, to love us even before the foundations of the world… what God has planned and purposed for our lives, it shall come to pass 🙏🏾
I am strong
Amen, the joy of the Lord is our strength for while we are weak we are strong 🙏🏾
💯🙌
Amen brother 🙏🏾
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being weak, as Christians we need to understand that when we are weak we approach God as His children not prayer warriors. It is okay to be vulnerable to God, to pour out your heart to Him and confess that our cups are empty and we are trusting Him to fill us up again as He always does and mend our broken hearts.
Spot on, God is for us, he is our father and just like parents here on earth take care of their children and their children being vulnerable around them and having full trust that through it all their parents will provide for them, give comfort when needed and guide them in all things, we are in the same position with God, he is our father and will guide us through all things.
