Believing in Yourself

We can stand and feel courageous. We aren't meant to feel belittled, or small, or like nothing. We are meant to feel like with God we can achieve great things, anything. Sometimes through trials, it is easy to feel like our world is a wall just crumbling. But we aren't meant to feel that way. We are supposed to use those crumbling stones as stepping stones to something better. Maybe we went through a trial so we can finally see how others are struggling and how even with an encouraging word you can help them. Maybe it was or will be to bring you to something better beyond your wildest dreams. One of my favourite verses is in 1 Peter 5:10 which says, "And the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself Restore you and make you Strong, Firm, and Steadfast." God not only is with us through everything but also is there to help us through it and after it. He is there for us. When life seems to rock our world, we need to stand strong together in God who can bring us through it and will always be there to help us. We should stand Courgeously.
