You do the very same Robert! Thank you for the quotes!
The best part of being a leader is getting to see the results of your encouragement. Of course over the years I've noted that the best encouragement usually involves food and that of course leads to extra PT.
"For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.'" Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.Mar 23, 2020
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I believe that the most encouraging words can be found in Scripture. I find it reassuring that God loves us so, that He gave Jesus to the world for all sin. I find that extremely encouraging, don’t you? Have a blessed day today and always.
