		<description>I&#039;d love to share these verses revealed to me by the Lord when I was wrestling if He hears my prayers and is really with me, and upon reading these one morning in my devotions, I was hit home and almost cried for His knowing presence and love: &quot;Then Haggai, the LORD&#039;s messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: &quot;I AM WITH YOU,&quot; declares the LORD.&quot; -Haggai 1:13...&quot;Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. &quot;&#039;FROM THIS DAY ON I WILL BLESS YOU.&quot; -Haggai 2:19. I felt lifted up and I praise God for His wonderful love for me when I was in a besieged city. Jesus loves you so much, so much! God bless you indeed Bomi! :)</description>

		<description>I have only just joined and I am already feeling reassured with this particular message.Sometimes circumstances are negative and overwhelming and we tune in to them and nothing else so we too become negativeminded and downcast. I am glad you are using your gift well -reminding us of the Word  and lifting  us up.
Thank you.</description>

		<description>Hey Bomi, just reading this. It&#039;s amazing!! You definitely have the gift of communicating. I love how you put scenarios so simple into context. I&#039;ll try to let it stick in my mind when next I take someone else&#039;s word/thoughts over God&#039;s. Btw, Happy New Year.</description>

		<description>Why do we easily forget?
Guess that&#039;s why we are humans.
Just as we know, the lil boy is just two so he might not understand.
The same way, we are just humans and just don&#039;t understand sometimes.
But when we get to understand, our confidence is boosted and becomes unshakable!</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for sharing, Bomi! Wow! I have actually been meditating on God&#039;s Faithfulness and steadfastness the last couple of weeks. This reminds me of the song &quot; Great is Thy faithfulness oh God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with you, all I have needed Thy hands have provided, great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me&quot;. May we never forget His Faithfulness in our lives. And may we always trust Him because He ALWAYS has everything under control.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you so much for sharing, Bomi! Wow! I have actually been meditating on God&#8217;s Faithfulness and steadfastness the last couple of weeks. This reminds me of the song &#8221; Great is Thy faithfulness oh God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with you, all I have needed Thy hands have provided, great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me&#8221;. May we never forget His Faithfulness in our lives. And may we always trust Him because He ALWAYS has everything under control.</p>
