In Every Leaf [Easter Blessings]

In Every Leaf [Easter Blessings]

“Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf of springtime.” —Martin Luther Dear friend, when you're weary from lingering pain, whether emotional or physical, recall to mind the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ: "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" ( John 16:33). Jesus overcame evil through the resurrection from the dead. Through faith in Him we can find the power to overcome our trials. In Christ we have hope! . . .

Forget Not

Forget Not

Life is tough. But no matter what we are going through, there's always something to be thankful for . . . 
"Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s."
—Psalm 103

Fear Not

Fear Not

Fear Not . . . “Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Dear friend, while God did not promise us a trouble free life, He did promise is His presence. Take heart in that simple truth and talk to Him like He's your closest friend. He's right beside you holding out His hand. Take hold. He has promised to help you.
