See Jesus.
Have you ever wished you could see Jesus when you feel discouraged? Picture yourself in this dream.
“Finally we reached the last step and stood before the door. Here my guide directed me to leave all the things that I had brought with me. I cheerfully laid them down; he then opened the door and bade me enter. In a moment I stood before Jesus. There was no mistaking that beautiful countenance. As His gaze rested upon me, I knew at once that He was acquainted with every circumstance of my life and all my inner thoughts and feelings. I tried to shield myself from His gaze, but He drew near with a smile, and, laying His hand upon my head, said: ‘Fear not.’ The sound of His sweet voice thrilled my heart with a happiness it had never before experienced.”Ellen G. White, Early Writings, pp. 79–81
Amid life's setbacks, we need to focus on Jesus and what He reveals about God's love for us.
