Going Through Hard TImes?

Many times in life, we have disappointments. We are looking for certain things to happen, and they don't always happen as expected.

Going through hard times? Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome.

When you find yourself in an unpleasant state of mind, simply remind yourself, "This Too Shall Pass!"

Hold on to God's promises. Be blessed, because God is with you!

"Immanuel" means "God with us" is a Hebrew name which appears in the Book of Isaiah as a sign that God will protect the House of David.

When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.

​(Isaiah 43:2)

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

(Isaiah 41:10)

Know that you are not alone. God is with you, holding you, comforting you, and most of all loving you no matter what.

Present Suffering and Future Glory

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing
with the glory that will be revealed in us.

​(Romans 8:18)

Suffering is temporary. The pain is temporary. The pain that you've been feeling can't compare to the joy that's coming.

Life can only be experienced fully if you have courage. Stay strong, keep moving, and never give up! Keep your head up. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.
