“He Still Gives Me Strength”

Dear Sandi:
I feel your pain, and yet touched profoundly by your overpowering conviction: “I know as long as I keep on my faith journey with Jesus I can do anything.”
I admire your living His Word: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die” (John 11:25-26).
You have renewed in me: “…that neither death nor life…will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
Let us, therefore,
“… in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses….” (2 Corinthians 6:4); and
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).
Thank you.
Please take good care.
May “The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26);
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
