45:10 "Lord thank you for your Love, Comfort, Hope and Strength!

As my family deals with the unexpected loss of a dear loved one today, I am encouraged by these verses: "Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say." II Thess 2:16-17

I am encouraged by the fact that I am loved by God!
His love for me is deep, unchanging and unconditional!

I am encouraged by God's eternal comfort!
It last's forever and does not stop!

I am encouraged by the wonderful hope that we have in Christ!
Regardless to our circumstances, regardless to our pain, there is always reason to hope in Christ!

I am encouraged by the fact that when I am distraught and weak,God strengthens me!
Isaiah 41:10 says: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Lord, thank your for your unconditional love, your everlasting comfort, your eternal hope and your strength which is always available. Lord, make this verse very real to me and my family today and in the coming days. Let us know your unconditional love, your everlasting comfort, your eternal hope, your everlasting supply of strength in deep and abiding ways!
In Jesus Name! Amen!
