His,
These verses are such a blessing! Thank you for sharing them. I have written all of them down on note cards to read over and over again and hopefully memorize. These verses have special meaning for me because I did give up 2 years ago, but God is faithful. I survived and am now thriving by the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. I have followed your blog for years and have been deeply encouraged by you. Thank you for sharing the REFRESHING Word of Jesus Christ on your blog. May you be blessed by the Lord in all that you do!
Oh, Rebecca! How encouraging! I’m glad it was a blessing to you — you have blessed me today! Thank you!
