Some Encouraging Thoughts from Johny (Late John George Samuel)

Hope

• God can convert your ‘bundles of burden’ into packages of joy’. (1 pet. 5: 7; Ps.66: 12; Matt. 11:25).
• All is not hopeless when your hope is in God. (1 Thess. 4: 13, 17; Prov. 23: 18; Rom. 5:5).
• “The promises of God are certain, but they do not all mature in ninety-days”. (Ps. 75: 2; John. 2:4; Luke. 1:13).

God’s Intervention

• “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God”. (Gen. 18: 14. Matt. 19: 26; Luke. 1:37; 18:27).
• The Lord will fight for you; you only need to be still. (Ps. 43:5, 6; Matt. 11:29; Jer 15:20).
• God transforms trials into triumphs. (John. 16:33; 1 Pet. 4:12; 2 Cor. 4: 17; Job. 19: 26). 

Right Responses

• Telling others about our heavenly father’s dealings with us is a way of truly praising Him. (Ps. 62:1; 102:16-18).
• The nearest way to gain respect is to earn it by good conduct. (Josh. 3:7; 2 Sam. 5:10; Job. 22:21).
• The way to change others’ mind is with affection, and not anger. (John. 13:1-2; 15:9, 13).
