We all have times in our lives when we seek out comfort. Jesus wants to comfort us in all our trials. Receive biblical encouragement through scripture meant to comfort you.
“I’m afraid I have bad news….” It was my mom calling. My initial response was to tell her I didn’t want to hear it. A deep fear of what she was about to say sent me straight into denial, which is an unhealthy coping mechanism. Overcoming a spirit of fear in our lives is possible …
I filled the inside cover of my very first Bible with verses about God’s promises of refuge and safety. They were some of the first promises that touched my heart and covered me with comfort and peace. I could say with a newfound confidence, “the Lord is my refuge!” I had lived too long trying …
We celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday- a day to honor our mothers, grandmothers, (maybe even great grandmother’s?) and women who play mothering roles in other’s lives.
