2 Corinthians 7:6 "God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us." If you have ever been touched by the transforming hand of Jesus, you have every reason to live courageously. Still, even as a dedicated Christian, you may find yourself discouraged by the inevitable disappointments and tragedies that occur in our lives. The next time you find your courage tested to the limit, lean upon God's promises. Trust His Son. Remember that God is always near and that He is your protector and your deliverer. When you are worried, anxious, or afraid, call upon Him and accept the touch of His comforting hand. Remember that God rules both mountaintops and valleys - with limitless wisdom and love - now and forever.
