The goal is to send an uplifting scripture or passage as often as possible via pm (without taking over the inbox. Like Id have mine all in one pm and send a verse a day when I am on, but it doesnt have to be that often.).

It is like an accountability partner to share prayer requests with/check on, etc. Girls with girls/guys with guys. No secret buddy thing. That went well, but that element doesnt work the best on a forum. :D

Goals:

-to practice encouraging and building up one another
-to practice praying for one another
-pen pal sort of thing
-can be ongoing or we can set a time and change buddies.

@"ByGrace" - Proverbs 25:11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
.
@Nancy- Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.


@farouk- Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


@Philip James- Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”


@Truth- Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

@Hidden In Him- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.


@bbyrd009- 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.


@Dave L-Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Thank you...and may the glory of the Lord bless you double, and anoint your eyes and ears in your calling.

Isaiah 48.10: "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction".

Yes, this is encouraging, because by faith we learn that what matters is that we are chosen, rather than the fact that we may be greatly afflicted.

'Wait on the Lord:
Be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen thine heart:
Wait, I say, upon the Lord.'

(Psalm 27:14)

'For our conversation is in heaven;
.. From whence also we look for the Saviour;
.... The Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body,
.. that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body,
.... according to the working whereby He is able
...... even to subdue all things unto Himself.
Therefore, my brethen
.. dearly beloved and longed for.
.... my joy and crown.
...... So stand fast in the Lord,
........ my dearly beloved.'

(Philippians 3:20-21 - 4:1)

With love in Christ Jesus
our risen and glorified
Saviour, Lord and Head.

Isaiah 48:10 does not mean what you think it does.
But it's still a beautiful verse.

"I have TESTED thee in the furnace of affliction"...

Have you been tested?
Do you have a testimony?
I've got plenty of testimonies.
Whatever happens to me,,,I keep God near.
I trust that He must be doing what's right for ME.
I may be down, but I'm not out.
I may be depressed, but I'm not despaired.
I may be sad, but I'm always joyful to know God is in my life.

Psalm 121
1I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?


2My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.


3He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

4Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.

6The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

7The LORD will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.

8The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.

Great verses there; I do love Philippians; my wife and I have read it through together a number of times.
