Our Hope and Security in God’s promises

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Where does our hope come from? Where does our security lie on? We have to have trust God with all our heart and mind, know well in our heart that God’s promises are true and He has the perfect plan for us and our family.

A Letter For My Husband: Day 2

“Through love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13b)
We can serve others out of love but we cannot love others without serve them. Everyday, I always have lots of need-to-be-done things at home. If I did it out of love, I could serve my family without complaints. But sometimes, I did complain. Tired. Bored. Pain. Sore. etc.
But today’s challenge really open my eyes that my husband, Dave did also lots of things, at home, at office, and the church. But I sometimes didn’t notice what he has done. He fixed things that I couldn’t fix, he cooked every Saturday, he cleaned the kitchen when I couldn’t do it, he bathed Abigail when I was too tired to do it, he took care of me when I was sick and he picked up my medicines, he helped others when they needed it, he would be where people need him, he even sacrificed his comfortable zone and time just for Abigail and I… and the list will continue go on… and on…
I am so thankful to have a husband like Dave. I thank God for his kind heart, generous heart and lovely heart. So thankful that he will do whatever he can to help others. Most of all, he always be there when I need him. He always encourage and help me when I was down, and he encourage me to do things that he thinks I can do it.
Yes, what I want to say here that Dave is a supportive husband.
My prayer that God continue work in him, through his life to bless others. I pray that others will see and glorify God through Dave’s life examples.
I praise God for Dave.

How Can We Become An Encouragement To Others Today?

As Jesus’ followers, we have a command to love and to encourage each other, not only those who are believers, but also to those who are not believers. In that way we can show God’s love and care to each other. So the world can see that we are Jesus’ disciples and God’s children.

These are simple ways that we can do all the time. I concluded them from the reading I attached below. Those ways are:

1. Good words. We can write a card, or a text messeage, or drop a message in someone inbox, or may be we can make a phone call just to say something positive that we know we can encourage the person in need. A simple good word will make up their day.

2. Be a good listener. We can just sit there an be a good listener to those who need someone to listen to them. Struggling people always need someone to be there for them so just they will know somebody cares for them. To be there for others is a way to show God’s loving care to them. Will you be there for a needy friend/family?

3. Prayer. “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16).
God always hears our prayers for others who need God’s help and intervention in their lives so they will know God, experience God, and they will know that God never forsake nor forget them. God will answers our prayers in ways to show He is God and in control, so then all of us will praise Him for the answers.
