A Personal Thank You

 PROVERBS 16:4

The Lord works out everything to its proper end—

    even the wicked for a day of disaster.

I hope and pray this book has made you grow spiritually and strengthened your relationship with The Lord. I thank God for giving me strength to be where I am today, and pray that He will take you to higher places than you ever thought possible.

I pray for you to grow in your relationship with God everyday, see your dreams become reality, and feel His Spirit working inside of you more every time you wake up for another day.

I sincerely thank you so much for reading my humble attempt to bring glory to our Savior, and thank Him for giving us these encouraging verses form His Word to comfort us during the hard times. All of these specific verses that I’ve included in this book have personally helped me, and hopefully granted you something in return. The Bible should never be underestimated—it is God’s story, medicine, and guide to us! We should read the Word daily, saturate ourselves in Scripture, and savor everything that God has to say.

No matter how tough life gets, know that God is with you and is holding you in the palm of His hand. This is all just a test of faith. If you push through the tough spots you will see favor like never before. God will move mountains for you—I’m proof of it.

If you are still lost and don’t know how to develop a relationship with Jesus, start by declaring Him as your rock, your solid ground, your salvation. Shout His name in praise. Proclaim He knows your name, all your needs, and He has a plan unlike any other for you. Still suffering with pain? Declare your healing, take ownership of God’s supernatural power and rejoice in the Lord for delivering you from pain today! Don’t wait another minute. This is your day. Shout it from the rooftop. God is your refuge. He loves you and has forgiven your sins. He has equipped you for this journey.

Don’t get frustrated if you still have questions about God. Your spiritual journey is not something that will ever end; there will never a point where everything clicks and we understand everything about how God works—and that’s how He created us. Start trusting Him more, doing your best with all you do, and day by day, continue asking God for wisdom to fathom His ways deeper and patience to accept His timing. It will all work out—just give God time to make the blessing as good as it can be!

You will soar, flourish, and excel under God’s leadership. He will supernaturally make you get that job, pay those bills, and open those doors that you so desperately need. Keep being patient with Him—He knows what He’s doing! When prayers seem to be ignored by God, remind yourself that He is perfect and nothing is a surprise to Him. Right now He is aligning all the right things and people together for you to be ready for the amazing blessings about to be rained upon you and your loves ones. Besides, those blessings will feel so good knowing you trusted God and made it through with patience. Make sure to remind yourself each and every day that God knows exactly the right path for you, and that is a different path from your friend, brother, mother, and every other one of His children.

You are a special to Him, and He has a specific destiny for everyone. You are a masterpiece to God, made wonderfully and fearfully. When it comes to being you, nobody else can even pale in comparison. You are the best you out there—act like it. You need to embrace what God’s implanted in your heart—all the talents, abilities, riches, blessings, and fruit of The Holy Spirit. All of that is what makes you special and makes The Lord look down from His kingdom and smile at you, knowing He did good when He made you. Once again, God bless you and may He grant you and His desires for your heart. Thank You Jesus, for the rain of favor and blessings coming at full speed towards Your children. Amen!
