2 Corinthians 4:6-11 NASB [D-RH]
6 For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;
8 we [suffer tribulation] & are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
10 always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
2 Timothy 2:12 NIV
if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;
1Pt 3:14 (D-Rh) But if also you suffer any thing for justice’ sake, blessed are ye.
Rev. 2:10e-f (D-Rh) Be thou faithful unto death: and I will give thee the crown of life.

I am encouraged to overcome...
I was reading Numbers... it really struck me the parts about the children of Israel being delivered from Egypt, then once delivered they sinned; even then GOD gave them an opportunity to go the the land of Canaan. Ten of the twelve spies were scared of the giants in that land and did not want to fight; and the children of Israel actually asked would it not be better for us to return to Egypt!
Only two spies -- Caleb and Joshua were encouraged to do GOD's will:
Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." Numbers 13:30
Joshua and Caleb spoke and said "If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, "a land which flows with milk and honey.Numbers 14:8
I am thankful that GOD has delivered me from this corruptible world. I am encouraged to know that when i am in the will of GOD that i am able to overcome the "giants" in my life and not to go running back to the corruptible world or to wander around aimlessly in "the wilderness". That in His will i will receive the blessings that He has planned for me.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Genesis 50:20-22 (Amplified Bible)
As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day.

psalm 28
6 Praise the Lord!
For he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
8 The Lord gives his people strength.
He hears our cries, He fills us with His strength, and guards over us like a shield, He helps us and fills us with joy.
Now that is encouraging.

I'm sure this has been posted already but I'll post anyway. I also love the rain! Every time it rains it reminds me of that scripture that says He comes like the rain. Sometimes it rains a little, sometimes a lot. Sometimes we expect it and sometimes we don't, but regardless it's beautiful each and every time :) Kinda like my Jesus.

 Encouraging words and inspiration?
Sounds biblical to me.
Here's a quote from a Christian song from a band that I think is called
"Anchor of the soul."
"Brightly beams our Father's mercy from His light-house evermore...,
bu,to us He leaves the keeping of the lights along the shore.
Let your glowing light be burning,send the gleams across the waves.
Some poor,struggling sailors you may rescue,you may save.
God bless you and yours in all ways possible.

NOw love is not as as strong as death,but stronger than death...
May you be armed then with the power of love,
whoever you are,you pious invades who seek to snatch the Kindom of heaven.
Save me,O God,by thy name,and judge me by thy strength.

(((scottishmomma46)))
I went through a period of time where I was not working and needed government assistance. It was for very different reasons than you, but what I learned was to stop multi-tasking and appreciate what God has done in my life. Even now, after a few years have passed, I still find those lessons learned during that time keep coming back to me ... valuable lessons that God taught me ... to enjoy the simple beauty of life and what He has done for me and continues to do for me.
I pray that your experience at this time of your life and what God wants to teach you will bless you for the remainder of your life.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Yes, so encouraging. This passage reminds me of:
Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
When we are singing praises together—giving thanks—we are "thinking about such things".

Psalm 30
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime!
Weeping may last through the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
Hallelujah, joy comes in the morning. By the grace of Almighty God we can always start over, every day is new and His favor lasts a lifetime. Praise the Lord for all of His encouraging words, boy do we need them sometimes.
