Why do you say, O Jacob,
And complain, O Israel
"My way is hidden from the Lord;
My cause is disregarded by God"?
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is an everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:27-31

I LOVE this verse!It is such awesome encouragement. We just need to HOPE in the LORD!! :)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He alone chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the one he loves.

Ephesians 1:1-6

I really like this, because it shows me how much God loves me. He doesn't need me- he chose me "in accordance with his pleasure and will" but he loves me enough to give me, a sinner, "his glorious grace"!! I love him too!
