In life there are at times, multiple threats and fears.
Some may seem insurmountable. However, it's prudent to believe that
whatever the threat or fear, to overcome it, one must be grounded in faith;
hold on to the belief: one is never really alone. In those moments,
difficult as it may seem, one would do well to rely on God, the Author of Life
who gives us strength in our weakness. Always remember, we can do all things
through Him!
Fear not the fierce wind, o gentle heart
Though it may rattle the eaves
And give no ear to its whispers with nothing to impart
But shallow promises that hang, like dried, parched leaves
Listen to its mournful wails on the way to some distant shore
Leaving in its trail, the harsh rawness of a chill
And envy not; give pity instead; be sure to keep no scores
For the warmth of a gentle heart is by far, richer still
For who can fathom the baleful howls invading valleys below;
Billowing across the fragile earth and her boundless seas?
Is it in anguish that she protests; who can really know?
Yet, judge not, o gentle heart, but like a blade of grass amidst a storm
Lay calmly into the wind; rely not upon your strength; stay strong
