I do not speak for myself

I recently met with a crisis.
And my confidence waned.
I told my friend that I was no longer confident of what I know.
Her grandma just passed away.. and even in circumstances like this, when she needs comfort and encouragement, I felt inferior even to dispense advice for I felt I did not have anything to offer.
But she spoke to me to say that all these inferior sentiments are from the devil, and that I do not speak out of my own knowledge but upon God's promises. For who can be sure of what they know.. But if I lean on what He says, I can still have conviction and confidence.

I thank God that when all else fails,
He never fails.
His mercy endures forever..

The scriptures declare that His mercy endures forever (Ps. 136), He retains not His anger forever, but delights in mercy (Mic. 7:18), His tender mercies are above all His works (including His judgments) (Ps. 145:9), His love never fails (1 Cor. 13:8), and above all, He is love (1 Jn. 4:8)!

Thank God for Your grace.
Amen.

Dear Clyde, I believe I've asked you to identify yourself before.
I am totally cool with you but I really don't appreciate you sneaking up on me like this. I won't entertain such things ok?
One last note, please come up to me the next time you see me and tell me who you are.
Or at least send me a picture of yourself so I can put a face to the name.
Will really appreciate that, thanks so much :)
