God is here...

"I command you-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Our family (extended) has just received some very discouraging news. I don't want to go into detail here but I'll say that what we hoped for and prayed for did NOT come about as we expected. I take courage in the verse above.

No matter what our circumstances, no matter how alone we may feel, GOD is with us. He promises us this over and over in the Bible.

Here's just a few references...GOD'S promises are TRUE. He loves us more than we can understand and even in times of darkness and pain...He stands with us. I believe this with all of my heart!

Whatever you are going through today, CLING TO JESUS! Even when you can't pray...he knows your heart. He loves you. He created you for His purposes.

I hope you feel His love and nearness today!
