Never Give Up
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
James 1:12
You Are Not Alone, God Is With You
So do not fear, for I am with you;
Isaiah 41:10
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.
You Cannot Please God And Be Unkind To Others
You cannot please God and be unkind to others.

Matthew 22:34-40
The Greatest Commandment
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
Isaiah 53:5 NLT
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
What always strikes me most about these words is that they were written around 500 years in advance of Christ’s birth by Isaiah.
I find the fact that Isaiah wrote about Christ in such detail in advance of Him coming and then for his prophecies to be fulfilled by Jesus, strengthens my faith immeasurably.
