I have a small gift book that I got several years ago from a friend. It's called In the Arms of God by Dr. James Dobson.

It has several passages along with short comments from Dr. Dobson. I want to share a couple with you. I really enjoy Dr. Dobson and hope that you are encouraged by these words today!

We are promised throughout scripture that we are never to fight our battles alone. That is great news for all who are weary and burdened by the stresses of life.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 NKJV

In God's value system we are all important. He loves every one of us the same.

No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate....for the Lord will take delight in you. Isaiah 62:4

******************

There are purposes that you cannot perceive or comprehend. You may never understand-at least not in this life-but you must never let go of your faith.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
