At the end of various readings in Comfort.Guide, we will have a "Pause", "Reflect" and "Receive" section. The purpose of this exercise is to help you better understand and to personally absorb the encouragement Comfort.Guide offers.
PAUSE … Invite Him to be with you; let Him quiet you with His Love.
REFLECT … What is God saying to you?
* What Scripture above touches your heart the most?
* What Scripture fills your heart's cry for comfort?
RECEIVE … Think of all the "I am" descriptive words above. Let each and every word begin to take root deep in you!
PROMISES ..... short Scriptures to build you up and give you hope!
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord who has compassion on you."
