"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and work." (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)
....and He does indeed.
This is what is called a benediction, and I share it with you as a prayer and blessing. Read much of Jesus' Words every day and we will continue to have this text, and all texts, written in our hearts and minds.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You for Your, "....everlasting consolation...." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
