Encouragement From The Bible

Encouragement from the Bible Read the Bible! It is full of truth and hope. As Christians, we know that God never abandons us, despite our circumstances. The Bible constantly reflects this truth. It is not our duty, but our joy to read, so do not spend days repenting if the last time you read the Bible seems ages ago!
