Isabella often wrote about God’s love and His promises to protect and guide those who follow Him. In her stories and novels, she regularly included short Bible verses, like this:
Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20)
And she often shared God’s promises in the pages of The Pansy magazine, as she did in this poem:
As a teacher and a minister’s wife, she probably had a lot of experience in seeing the positive impact such little reminders could have in the life of a person who needed encouragement.
In fact, she—as well as the characters in her stories—handed out calling cards or pieces of paper on which was written a “promise verse” meant to encourage someone who was facing challenges in their life.
People don’t often use calling cards today, but those Biblical words of encouragement are still important to those in need!

We’re giving away sets of “Promises from God for Women” cards to three U.S.A. readers of Isabella’s blog!

The calling cards would be great for tucking in a card, or just handing out individually. God’s Word is always good and being able to share it and encourage others blesses the giver too.
I wholeheartedly agree, Rebekah! Thank you for commenting. —Jenny

I entered you in the drawing, Helen. Good luck! —Jenny
I love the calling cards! I had a few that I have carried with me and given when it seemed appropriate. Once at a restaurant, and now having chemo, I have given one with an extra note from me to the infusion nurse, and last night to a hospital nurse. I wish they were more common. I’m so very glad you have Isabella’s blog! It’s refreshing, instructive, and inspiring! Thank you for your work on compiling and sharing!
I love the different ways you share your cards, Donna. I’m sorry you’re going through chemo, but the fact that you are thinking of others during treatment is a wonderful expression of your spirit. I’ll keep you in my prayers. —Jenny
