We are afflicted in every way but not crushed;
we are perplexed but not in despair;
we are persecuted but not abandoned;
we are struck down but not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Whatever you are facing, whatever hardship is lurking at your door, whatever pain your heart is holding, remember that you are:
not crushed
not in despair
not abandoned
not destroyed
With God on your side, no one and nothing can bring you harm.

I love these verses. Circumstances don't always make sense, but we know God is wise and loving and has reasons for what He allows.

Barbara, praying and submitting to the Father's will is not always easy. This was such a gentle reminder to be obedient even when it is most difficult. God's ways are always best and ultimately for our good.
DeleteBeautiful verse and reminder, that we are not alone. This week I wrote on a nagging wife, http://keepingthetiethatbinds.com/2020/02/04/a-nagging-wife-she-is-not-hard-to-find/
