Ephesians 4:32 says, “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Friend, that verse is like a compass for the Christian life. Kindness is not weakness—it’s strength under control. Tenderheartedness doesn’t mean you’re soft—it means your heart is sensitive to God and to people. And forgiveness? That’s where the real power is. When you forgive, you’re not saying what happened was okay—you’re saying you refuse to let bitterness chain you down.

Think about it: God didn’t forgive you because you earned it. He forgave you for Christ’s sake. That means His mercy is the model and the motivation for how we treat others. So today, when the enemy tempts you to hold a grudge, when someone rubs you the wrong way, remember the cross. Remember how much you’ve been forgiven. Then pass it on.

Kindness heals. Tender hearts open doors. Forgiveness sets people free. That’s not just good advice—that’s the gospel in action.

Sometimes life feels like you’re standing at the edge of something bigger than you can handle. Maybe it’s a decision you’ve got to make, a battle you didn’t choose, or a season that feels uncertain. Fear whispers, “You’re on your own.” Doubt says, “You can’t make it.” But listen to the promise of Deuteronomy 31:8—“And the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.”

That means before you ever step into tomorrow, God is already there. He’s already cleared the path, already fought the battles, already lined up the provision you need. He doesn’t just send you—He goes with you. And He doesn’t just go with you—He promises never to leave.

So when you feel overwhelmed, remember this: your confidence isn’t in your strength, it’s in His presence. Your hope isn’t in what you see, but in Who walks beside you. The same God who led Israel through the wilderness is the same God leading you through your wilderness today.

Friend, you don’t have to face what’s ahead with fear or discouragement. You can face it with faith and courage—because the Lord is with you, He will not fail you, and He will not forsake you. Walk forward, knowing your God has already gone before you.

Brother and sister, Isaiah 26:4 says: “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”

Now let me encourage you—this verse isn’t just a reminder, it’s a lifeline. The world around us shifts like sand. People change. Jobs change. Even our own bodies change as we grow older. But God never changes. His strength doesn’t wear out, His mercy doesn’t expire, and His promises don’t come with an expiration date.

When Isaiah says “trust ye in the Lord for ever,” he’s inviting us to lean the full weight of our lives on the One who cannot fail. Not just today. Not just when things are good. But forever. Because forever is how long His strength lasts.

So whatever burden you’re carrying today—whether it’s worry about your family, stress at work, or the ache of something you can’t fix—set it down in His hands. You don’t have to hold it up, because He already is holding you up.

Child of God, don’t just trust Him when the sun is shining. Trust Him in the storm. Trust Him in the valley. Trust Him forever. Because in the Lord Jehovah, you’ve got everlasting strength that will never run dry.
