“I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
John 10:28

Are you feeling discouraged today? Maybe you are at the point in life where you just don’t understand why these things keep happening to you? Let’s take a minute and reflect on one of the promise that God has given us. In John 10:28 it says, “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” Doesn’t this bring peace into your life – knowing that you are a child of God and no one can pluck you out of His hand? Perhaps our reaction to situations that we go through are along the lines of “what did I do to deserve this,” or “why is this happening to me?” We must remember that God has a purpose for everything we go through. He could be saving you from something worse or teaching you a lesson that will benefit you later in life. No matter what we go through in this life, we must remember that God has promised us eternal life with Him, and that the things in this life are temporary. If God puts you in it, he will help you through it. We must rest in the wonderful truth that God will give us strength through our journey, and remember that God might let us bend, but he won’t let us break. Remember, He has our back, and we can always turn to Him for strength.
