Encourage Yourself In The Lord

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

When you look for peace and security, remember that it is the Lord who gives good gifts to His children, and who encourages you to encourage yourself in Him.

The fact is that the world is getting worse, and the people who live in this world are seeking pleasures, wealth, fame, power and authority, but they have closed themselves from the one who could give them everything, the God of this universe who created them.

To be encouraged means to live in peace and harmony with the one who made you, to enjoy your life and have favor and grace that transcends your problems and your fears.

Don't give into your worries and fears; trust The One who created you and give Him all of your troubles and fears, and he will exchange them for peace, joy, and everlasting happiness.

What does it mean to be happy in this world? Usually it means being wealthy and having everyone and everything you ever wanted or desired, but many have learned that being rich and famous does not truly equate with happiness. Happiness is knowing that the God who created you loves you, forgives you, wants to know you and live inside of you. You are His most desired treasure and He will keep you in His heart.

When you are loved perfectly, when you are a treasure in His heart, when you feel love beyond all understanding, the treasures of this life seem worthless, they will not have the same value in your heart as His love for you.......

So. encourage yourself in the Lord, when you feel lonely, discouraged or less than. You are more valuable than anything else in this universe to the Lord, He made you for this purpose, to love Him with all your heart and mind, and to live in His presence forever and ever, so that He might give you everything that you need, yes even the treasures of the earth and beyond. When you are His, you are saved for His mercy sake, and because of His love for you!
