THE POWER OF ENCOURAGING WORDS

Today I was reminded of how an encouraging word can change the way you feel. After a particularly stressful day, I came home to find a card from my friend, Kim, who definitely has
the gift of encouragement! Her sweet words and the Scriptures she sent me were like a balm to my soul. Immediately tears sprang to my eyes as I realized how blessed I am. My precious Heavenly Father knew I would need a lift today, and in advance, laid my name on Kim's heart. Thank you, Kim, for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and for being willing to share your gift with me! Most of all, thank you for this verse. I love you and miss you.

Psalm 57:1-2
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth ALL things for me!

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!
