Encouragement

encouragement - How can I be encouraged during a difficult season?

God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word.

Psalm 119:28

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

Psalm 19:1

We are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised.

2 Peter 3:13

HAVE YOU ever experienced a difficult season when you continually asked God, “Why?” or “How long?” Sometimes knowing there is more than what this life has to offer is just the encouragement we need. God has built into us a yearning for a trouble-free, perfect world that can be found only in heaven. Nature, beauty, rest, and enjoyable relationships provide glimpses of heaven in order to encourage us while we’re on this earth. When discouragement begins to settle in, engage with God’s beauty and awaken your hope for heaven. Remember God’s promise to perfectly restore the earth and give you an eternity of never-ending beauty and companionship with God.
