“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV. “…but live content with what you have, for you always have God’s presence. For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you alone, never!

"Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your STRIVING, and you will see that I am God. I am the God above all nations, and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth" Psalm 46 TPT. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on earth" Psalm 46 NIV.

"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God, you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvellously made! I worship in adoration-what a creation! You know me inside and out; you know every bone in my body; you know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something.

“He understands our humanity, for as a Man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are and conquered sin. Hebrews 4:15 TPT  “Instead, He emptied himself of His outward glory by reducing Himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human! He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient.” Philippians 7-8 TPT. Too sensitive. Too Logical. Distant. Too Critical. Can you relate to any of these? Early on in my life, the word “sensit[...]

“If you belong to Christ Jesus you won’t be punished.

But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect, life in its fullness until you overflow” John 10:10 TPT “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:18 NIV. The Oxford language defines assurance as: “a positive declaration intended to give confidence (or certainty), a promise”! Th[...]

“Not even the highest places or the lowest, or anything else in all creation can separate us. Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.” Romans 8:39 NIRV “The Lord himself will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will never leave you. He will never desert you. So don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope.” Deut. 31:8 NIRV  Who is God? What a big question. We can learn about who God is as an idea or concept, but maybe we would fin[...]
