4/13

Today I had a client email me and tell me about how her daughter has been struggling with the death a teenage friend of hers. She has been using a pen to ink Philippians 4:13 on her wrist to remind her that she can do all things through Christ who gives her the strength. She also pointed out that today is 4/13. What a great reminder today’s date can be for all of us who feel weary, tired, worn out or overwhelmed. We need to remember where our strength comes from. Certainly not from our own energy or making, real strength and comfort comes from the one who loves us the most and can provide just what we need in any given circumstance….our Father knows best.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received from me, or seen in me, put into practice, and the God of peace will be with you….I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty of in want (in the painful places and in the joyful moments….I know) I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength!” Philippians 3:14

May you feel strong this April 13th and most of all know you are loved!
