To You, My Friend

God loves you with an everlasting love. He is

faithful, wise, and true. He is a miracle-working,

soul-saving, life-transforming God. And He

cares deeply about you.

As you work your way through these pages,may you grow to knowon a much deeper

levelwhat you possess when you have Christ.

He is above all, in all, and through all. He is

the way, the truth, and the life. He promises

never to leave you, never to forsake you, and

never to let go of your hand. Life on earth is

hard sometimes, but life with God is always

good, always beautiful, and forever eternal.

The Lord wants you to last long and finish

strong, and Hes the one who will keep you

strong to the end.

May these blessings be yours in every way.

S u s i e L a r s o n

sions, including a Restful Weekend, Stepping

Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,

for the Lord your God will be with you

wherever you go.

May you refuse to be bullied by your fears ordiminished by your insecurities.

May you rise up in the knowledge that God made a

masterpiece when He made you!

May you embrace the grace to abound in every good work in

spite of enemy opposition.

Overwhelming victory belongs to you because you

belong to Him.

Walk with feisty faith today! Hes got you.

Your desires are especially close to His heart.

His call on your life fits you perfectly.

Be watchful and thankful today.

Jesus is with you.
