| Strong and Courageous Bracelet |
Hello Friends!
These words, Strong & Courageous, remind me today that to be truly strong is to fully rely on Jesus Christ. To stand up physically and spiritually with a supernatural strength when you get the worst news possible. Courageous only with Jesus standing with you leading you because the road ahead looks pretty scary alone. It is something we don't like to think about, the bad news. You see we could stand all day when things in life are going great. I wish I could say that it will be that way forever but we all know that life doesn't work that way. Personally I haven't been through some of the devastating losses that a few of my friends have went through such as losing a baby or a child. I haven't been through cancer personally. I can tell you what I have seen though, I have seen death happen and been the family or friend to support to support them and been there to help loved ones when they fall to their knees in despair when it does and ask the question, Why God?
Whether it is something tragic, cancer or if we are blessed to live to ripe old age and our bodies wear out, we will come to that day to say goodbye. Our hearts will ache for them but standing up wont be easy. God gives us friends and support but the only true comfort you can possibly find is resting in Jesus Christ for a peace that surpasses all understanding. Because understanding is not easy. It is something we may never find here on earth. Why did God take our child or husband so soon and suddenly. But trusting a Savior in all things is how we can be strong and courageous because He is strong and courageous. God knows and sees you.
Look to the creator for all things and according to God's Word all things will be made new and we will dwell in heaven with God one day. So my comfort as a child of God is that one day we will be with Jesus in heaven. This life is not the end for us. Many times in the bible Jesus tells us "don't be afraid" He is with us. Take courageous my friends and draw on the power of Jesus Christ for everything until that day comes. We will fly on eagles wings to our new home.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
Bless you
