along the lines of some of the recent posts about fear...and knowing that my own fears are overwhelming these days. i felt that i needed some words of encouragement. and nothing seems to say it better than the verse below.
Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
how true is this???!!! if i think back over the past 1-2 years, i have faced many trials and tribulations...all of which have been reasons to be fearful and scared and curl up in the corner to avoid life. but through His grace, God has reminded me that He is with me. sure the situations were difficult, but i came out of it a better person...because of God.
in these times, i often reflect upon the people i know that don't have God in their hearts. i wonder how they are making it through all of their trials and tribulations. i often remember what it was like before i went to God and asked Him to take over my life; and i know that it seemed like a never-ending doom was hanging over me. but now, i know that all will be well because of Him.

Thanks for that. Without our trials, we won't grow. I am thankful that others who have struggled with the same things i have are there to empathize with me. There truly are angels around us in the form of others serving us.
