Hi Stephen, thank you so much for the encouragement you sent to us. I received at an amazing moment when we were both going through an episode and I’d removed myself out of the firing line and retreated to the computer and there was this message, wonderful, thank you so much. Blessings.

Thanks heaps Steven. Your “Brief Word” is a great way to start my day and my focus!

I would like to tell you how this particular word affected my life. A few years ago I was feeling very low and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. It was like a black cloud had descended on me and no matter what I tried I couldn’t seem to shift it. And the Lord gave me this particular scripture, which I wrote out and carried in my pocket and repeated every time I put my hands on it. My depression and feelings of being very low and heavy left and I find myself often repeating this scripture and passing it on to others. I find this is a perfect prescription or antidote for depression. Regards

Marjorie

I am glad that Stephen Whitwell is putting his writings into print. There is a hunger today for people to be fed on the principals of Scripture and Stephen is doing just that. May these writings prove to be a help and a blessing to you too.
