Reading the bible puts a new perspective on our lives, it opens our eyes! We discover Christ’s forgiveness, which sets us free to live a full life. When we know the truth about what God thinks of us —that we’re loved— we’re no longer oppressed by what society says about us.
So, I encourage you to find saying of Jesus that we find meaningful or comforting, and to memorise it so that we can repeat it aloud to someone else, to encourage them.
Let us be bearers of good news, bringing hope in this world of bad news, and not stay silent.
“Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
