February 10, 2015 Weekly Encouragement: He'll Never Give Up On You! This morning I am reflecting on how amazingly blessed I am. Isn't amazing how much our reflecting on what God has done for us, can change us in a moment? I was thinking today how blessed I am that there were those wonderful people who never gave up on me. How long has it been since you stopped in your day, reflected and were reminded of those that never gave up on you? The most important One to be remembered, is of course our loving Father. Scripture says He will never leave you nor forsake you. Keep seeking the One who keeps that promise.
