Words to Comfort 1
I thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:3 NIV
This week I am going to share with you comforting Scripture. These are some of the verses that put smiles on our face, offer encouragement, and are also handy to place at the bottom of birthday, anniversary, or graduation cards. Actually, the idea for this series started because someone called me looking for a verse to place on a card. While the real reason for this series is the same as every other, to point you to Christ and strengthen you in your daily walk with Him, just maybe one of these verses will show up on a greeting card to you or from you soon!
Do you ever wonder if anyone cares? Paul reminded the Philippians that he was thinking about them, and that each time he did, it made him thankful. That�s a caring thought, isn�t? Do you think anyone cares for you that way? We live in a busy society. Everyone always has more to do than time seems to permit. We never seem to have time to stop and t ell others we care. This is a truth most of us know very well, in spite of the fact that we all need reminders that others do indeed care for us.
This is one of the chief reasons, I believe, that God is so serious about the church. The church is where believers come together to share Christ�s love with one another. Jesus knew that life was often too much to handle alone, so He told us to get together often. We do that in church. Even Jesus, in His earthly days, desired the company of other believers.
I need to remind you that if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you always have someone who cares on your side. You have a friend that sticks closer than a brother. I can tell you also, that because you are one of God�s creation, I care as well. If you need someone closer to give you a hug, put their arm around you, and share the fact that they care, find yourself a Bible-believing, Christian church, and experience the fellowship God intends for Hi s children to have. There are those who care!
