“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]“ –John 16:33 Amplified
What assurance to know that the challenges in life are not meant to “take us out” although sometimes it appears they are.
When life’s challenges overwhelm us, hearing and receiving words of encouragement strengthens our heart by reminding us that Jesus conquered ALL (John 16:33). He gives us peace that transcends our understanding. He uses the trials, distresses, and frustrations of life to develop our character so that we become more like Him.
It is my desire that the words of encouragement on this blog will strengthen your heart, and remind you that Jesus conquered the world for you; that the challenges you face cannot overtake you if you believe in, adhere to, trust in, and rely on Jesus Christ, and His unconditional love for you.
