Brave

I read this this morning. Great reminder as we head into a new year.

You have been equipped by God to endure this life. 

He has built you 

to be strong and courageous. 

He designed you with a spine to stand up for what is right, 

hands to work hard and provide, 

a mouth to speak His truth, a mind to make wise choices, 

a heart to love others unconditionally, 

and muscles to exercise your strength for the purpose of His will. 

You are a warrior with the power dwelling inside 

you to live a bold and righteous life.

You will face trials. Being brave is about being 

ready to face and endure any circumstance.

Being brave is about being prepared both physically 

and spiritually to defend your faith and to protect  

those you love. 

There will be people and situations that 

threaten those things. 

You must not be distracted by selfishness, and you must not be wrapped up in sin. Otherwise, you will be blindsided by your weaknesses. 

Kindness Challenge

I began a 25 days of kindness for the month of December. I have a few friends on Instagram who are joining in with their own list. You can find many lists online for daily acts of kindness. The point is, do something. 

Give.

Be kind.

Make a difference.

Smile.

Serve.

Do something every day that is not about you. 

You never know whose life will be changed because of your kindness.
