1 Peter 1:3-9

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith - more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire - may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen Him, you believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:3-9

  1. Oh Hallelujah for the encouragement of the living and breathing Word of GOD! Though we walk through days that can be dark, trials that aren't understood at the moment and situations that seem bleak.......GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE and we CAN REJOICE! We may not be able to see Him in the flesh, but we know that He exists, that He died for us and that He loves us so. Thanks Mandy....be encouraged for the Lord's mercy endures forever....even until the end of time itself. Praise be to His holy name!
