Encorajamento
O encorajamento é uma das vocações mais lindas do cristão. A Bíblia transborda de palavras de ânimo: não temas, levanta-te, Eu sou contigo. Deus nos encoraja para encorajarmos outros.
Não temas
Deus diz repetidamente: não temas, Eu sou contigo. Ele fortalece, sustenta e caminha ao nosso lado em cada desafio.
Deus está conosco
Se Deus é por nós, quem será contra nós? Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece. Ele nos encoraja pela sua presença.
