Reading Bible verses is a great way to make up for the day which hasn’t been so good. Not everyday is a Sunday, so if you think that you’re really facing a tough time in your personal or professional life, reading encouraging verses might give you more strength.
Rejection is something we are all afraid of, but it is something we just can’t avoid. Sometimes you have the upper hand but sometimes you have been brought down hard. The main problem with most of us is we get euphoric after listening to good news and become extremely dejected if anything bad happens. Always remember, life revolves around choices you made or are going to make; don’t blame God, your destiny, or your luck. Whatever wrong or right happens is just the consequence of your choice. When the chips down always remember that God’s watching you and giving up shouldn’t be an option. Although it is hard to pull yourself together in such difficult times, you can always turn to the Holy Bible for support and read some encouraging verses.
