Strengthening Our Spirit

Some of us are a little faint hearted when we see how we fall short of His Glory because He is a Holy God.

Also the stresses and of this present age can weigh us down too. 

The following are several scriptures I have placed together from different translations to bring out the richness because 

no English translation can bring out the fullness of the original Greek.

Seek The Lord’s presence as you read, for revelation.

And if you are not up to that for some reason – let these scriptures bring you

into a soft touch of His Presence. He Loves You today.
