When life is tough \u2014 or even when it\u2019s not \u2014 I\u2019ve found comfort in the Bible. My favorite parts change from month to month, week to week, or even day to day.\u00a0 Honestly, I should read it more than I do, because I\u2019ve also found that life is better when I hang on to its promises and truth.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the verse that\u2019s speaking to me right now, 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17.<\/p>\n

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a meaningful verse, because God has encouraged me so much today! I need to remember the source of all lasting encouragement.<\/p>\n

This week, what verses are meaningful to you?<\/p>\n
