I want to encourage you today with some quotes from the Bible which tell us about the help and strength available to us in God.

Psalm 54:4 tells us: “God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.”

Are you burned out from the stresses of life? In Matthew 11:28 we read the words of Jesus: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

What about physical and financial needs? Jesus said, “Don’t worry about these things, …your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

These tremendous promises give me encouragement when I feel the pressures of this world. I hope you turn to God and His Word today for the strength you need.

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Or things that have been done to you? Do you have those times, maybe in the middle of the night, when you're under pressure…the memories arise and you feel haunted? Maybe the guilt emerges, and you thought you were past it.

Oh, my friend, you are not alone. You can be clean. You can know you are clean, forgiven. It is what the cross of Jesus Christ is all about. Maybe today you could pray the prayer of David, prayed in Psalm 51.

When he cried out to God, “Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.” My friend, why don't you ask him today and allow the Spirit of God to fill you with joy and gladness because He has cleaned you out?

Jesus says, “I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full.”

He continues with this amazing statement: “I am the good shepherd…and I lay down my life for the sheep.”

Jesus was using the analogy of a shepherd who loves and cares for his sheep to describe His relationship with us. He is God, but He came to this world because He loves humankind to the extent that He was willing to die for us.

Later in John chapter 10 Jesus alluded to His death on the cross by saying that “No one takes {my life}from me, I lay it down of my own accord.”

Never think of yourself as being of little worth. Just remember the Good Shepherd who died to save you. And not only to save you but to give you life to the full. I hope you will open your heart to Him today.
