This is something that I wrote to encourage myself a year or two ago. Remember how King David encouraged himself in the Lord after the disaster at Ziklag and how he spoke to his soul in Psalm 42? My Bible is usually full of short messages of encouragement that I leave for myself to find at times when I may need a good word.
No Matter What Happens
Since you can't keep the bad stuff from happening no matter how hard you try, isn't it good to know that...
No matter what happens
I will always have You with me—and You are my greatest joy.
No matter what happens
You will always be loving me, forgiving me, accepting me—just as I am.
No matter what happens
I can always be growing in knowing You, loving You and trusting You.
No matter what happens
You will never leave me or forsake me.
No matter what happens
I can always cling to You, call on You, seek You and find You.
No matter what happens
You will always share wisdom, guidance and encouragement.
No matter what happens
I can always find something to do to worship You and serve You.
No matter what happens
You will always be redeeming the bad and making good plans for the future.
No matter what happens
I can always be learning to believe in You and fighting to live for You.
No matter what happens
You will always be carrying me to heaven.
No matter what happens
I can learn to let go and let You be the God who saves me.
