A Note of Encouragement

“Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. Imagine all the wondrous things your mind might embrace if it weren't wrapped so tightly around your struggles.

Always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it's not what the world takes away from you that counts; it's what you do with what you have left.” - Unknown

Count pain as a way to happiness. Smile and throw a celebration. For afterwards, you will have gained so much more than just tears and scars. You will have new knowledge and wisdom. A testimony that will help others in their time of need. And a confidence like you have never had before.

So when the storms come and you feel like giving up.

Remember the strength that God has put in your bones and the power that He has given you in your inner being. Have the faith to stand and endure. Because it is not over yet.
