Just as the Bible is filled with encouraging verses, so also should our hearts be filled with God’s promises; that is, we should take time to memorize encouraging Bible verses. For during trying moments when we’re in need of an encouraging word we can find comfort in them.
Having said that, I would like to share some encouraging Bible verses with you. I hope that you will be encouraged by this post, and that you will share these encouraging Bible verses with others, that they, too, may be encouraged by them.
