No Christian is immune to God's careful handling of their life.  The apostle Paul assures us that whenever we experience a season of sorrow in our personal life,  the Holy Spirit  seeks to assure us of the presence and purpose of God which instills an immeasurable deep peace; not a natural peace, as the world gives, but the peace of Jesus.


When you find yourself face to face with penetrating sorrow and deep despair, be assured that your hurt and cries are of chief concern at the throne of God (Hebrews 4:16).  Don't mistake your season of sorrow as a mistake from God (Romans 8:28). God wants you to know that He specializes in things thought impossible.

​​Book of Romans Chapter Fifteen.  Helping Others.  

The Christian life is possessed with a perpetual state of needing help.   Asking  God to help will always be desirable when the heart has an understanding of the grace of God. 

Christians who are growing fervently and faithfully in and by the grace of God are aware of God's dependability and there responsibility to help others. The apostle Paul calls on each believer, in particular, the mature believer to pull together in helping each other.   It is necessary from time to time that Christians need reminding that we need each other.  Paul points this out.
