Have you ever been in a difficult season and asked, “God where are you?” Since we know that He is always with us, a better question would be “God, what are you doing here and now?” The reality is that God has promised to never leave us or forsake us. No matter what you go through — God is with you. It’s a simple truth that many of us can nod our heads to, agree on, but in reality, we do not take it heart.

Encouragement is powerful, both in receiving it and in giving it to others. Let’s get into it, dreamers.
