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!
