Just a little encouragement

Let me offer you a couple of verses that I have found help me get through my hardest times.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have ever lasting life."

John 7:27, 32-33, 35-36, 40-41, 47-48, 51, 53-54, 56, 58
Jesus said, 27 "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. 32 "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
Jesus said," I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 41 I am the bread that came down from heaven. 47 I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53 I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven.

Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Romans 6:22-23 "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:9-21 "You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God."

Psalm 34: 8, 15 & 17 & 22
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. 15 They eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their cry.. 14 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. 22 The Lord redeem His servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him.

Psalm 115:11
You who fear Him, trust in the Lord- He is their help and shield.

Psalm 145:19
He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.

Matthew 5:4, 6-8, 10-12
4 Blessed are thos who morn, for they will be comforted.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are you when people insult you, perscute you and falsely sal all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted you the prophets who were before you.`

I know that's a lot to take in right now, and I hope you read all of it and didn't just scroll down mindlessly.
I want you to know that God sent His Son for us, to die for our sins, because He loves us. He does all things for us.
He loves you. And He wants to you to be able to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
