Be Strong and Courageous

You can't really appreciate life until it has knocked you down a few times.  You can't really appreciate love until your heart has been broken.  And you can't really appreciate happiness until you've known sadness.  Once you've walked through the valley, the view from the mountaintop is breathtaking. - Susan Gale

We all need encouragement.  There are times when days don't go the way we plan and life becomes hard on all of us.  During those difficult times is when we need encouragement the most.  Have faith in God and he will see you through the hardships.  He is with you.  You are not alone.  The Bible has excellent verses that can bring hope.  Have some encouragement today!

He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.
Psalm 62:6

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
