I was not intending to make a part two of my last post "Sure Stepping Stones for Life", but it turns out that I was searching for this quote that I wanted while making my last post...but was unable to locate it. I found it a few days later by accident, and decided perhaps since it didn't make it into the post I intended it to...I should use it to make a second part!
“One word of God can do more than ten thousand words of men to relieve a distressed soul.” John Flavel, England 1627-1691
"Blessed the man who is not staggered by God's delay or silence or apparent refusal, but
is strong in faith giving glory to God. Such faith perseveres, importunately, if need be, and cannot
fail to inherit the blessing. " -Andrew Murray
Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
"Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to His feet, Lay me low, and keep me there."
"Trials make the promise sweet."
One there is above all others,
O how He loves!
His is love beyond a brother's,
O how He loves!
Earthly friends may fail or leave us,
One day kind, the next deceive us;
But this Friend will never leave us,
O how He loves!
Tis eternal life to know Him,
O how He loves!
With His precious blood He bought us,
In the wilderness He sought us,
To His fold He safely brought us,
O how He loves!
We have found a friend in Jesus,
O how He loves!
How our hearts delight to hear Him,
Bid us dwell in safety near Him;
Why should we distrust or fear Him?
O how He loves!
Blessed Jesus, wouldst thou know Him?
O how He loves!
Give thyself this moment to Him,
O how He loves!
Best of blessings He'll provide thee,
Naught but good shall e'er betide thee,
Safe to Glory He will guide thee,
O how He loves!

Beautiful quotes once again- thank you so much! I'm sick with a cold, as well as feeling sad and anxious over my family's financial situation. I know I need to have more faith and trust God's promises. It's just really hard right now.
Thank you for the encouragement! :)
God bless,
Valentine
Valentine,
I really appreciate your comment, and am very sorry for what you are going through! These verses came to my mind after reading your comment...and I hope they are an encouragement to you.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
The Lord does bring us often through trials of our faith...but He never will leave or forsake His own! I will be praying for you to find rest and comfort in Him.
If you ever would like to reach out to me by email just to have someone to talk to, I'd be happy to hear from you. You can find my email address on my "About" page.
Beautiful post, blessings Teresa
