In this article, you will find some encouraging and helpful quotations from the Bible for your reflection, which can help you in your life.
Use these quotations for your meditations, share them with people who need encouragement, and make them part of your daily life.
Together with the Bible quotations, I have added some reflections, which you can ponder on, through meditation and prayer.

--------

John 6:20 But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”

Reflections:-

Are you afraid of knowing Jesus?

Have you ever tried to know Jesus in a personal way?

Do you know that Jesus is calling you by your name?

Do you know that you do not need to be afraid of Him... as He loves you?

--------

1 John 4:7-8 'Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.'

Reflections:-

Are we loving our neighbour?

Are we loving the person we meet in each moment of our lives?

Are we loving the needy, the poor, the helpless, the prisoner... etc?

Do we love God, so in return we be able to love others?

--------

Mark 12:30 ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

Reflections:-

How much do you love God?

Do you do everything to share God’s love with others?

Is your life pleasing to God?

God loves you in a personal way and calls you by your name.

--------

Matthew 25:23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Reflections:-

Are we being faithful at the place of our work?

Do we thank our colleagues at the place of work?

Are we happy at the place of our work?

Are we letting Jesus to be the master of our work?
