It take courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.
e.e. cummings
It is easier to hide our true self from the world. We fear criticism, ridicule or scorn. It is so much simpler to put on a mask so we can hide our true inner beings from everyone we know.
Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.
Henry J. Kaiser.
How many times have we been overwhelmed with problems? Many times we want to just give up and let the problems unarm us and render us helpless. God said we would have problems and our lives would be difficult. He never promised a smooth life as His followers.
We should lay our problems at His feet always but sometimes He will tell us to get to work. When this is His message we should put on our work clothes and open our eyes to the opportunities that are in the midst of these problems.
With the tense atmosphere Christians are facing today we should all stand together. I found this quote in one of my many books I am reading and felt it adequately expresses our country today. I would like feedback on what you think about it.
Christians are like coals of fire—together, they glow; apart, they grow cold. ODB July 2004.
