Jeremiah 29

Trust and persevere....

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you. Isaiah 43:2 AMPC https://bible.com/bible/8/isa.43.2.AMPC

Beloved, God knows every idiosyncrasy about you, yet He loves you perfectly because He sees you through the lens of the cross, where His Son has removed every failing from your life. He is with you not to judge you or smack you on the head with a giant bat the moment you fail. No, His presence is always with you to direct you, guide you, lead you into becoming more like Christ, and to make you a success in your endeavors!

God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, but with every temptation He will provide the way out, the escape.

Our past may explain why we are suffering. But we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage. Everyone is without excuse because Jesus always stands ready to fulfill His promise to set the captives free. He will walk us across the finish line of victory in any area if we are willing to go all the way through it with Him.

Hosanna! Save us we pray!

Fear is "What if?" Faith is "Even if."

God sees what you can’t see... The blocked 🚫 road, the missed opportunity the closed door 🚪, the heartbreak 💔, the rejection, the pain 😢 and the turmoil was for a reason. God is protecting you, but you just don't seem to understand that . The Good news is, God sees what you can’t see. He doesn’t look at things the way we look at it. You only have to trust the process. Trust His plan. What hurts you now, won't hurt 💔 forever ♥️
