Words of Encouragement

Be of courageousness, 
And not of cowardice.
Be of strength, 
And not of weakness.
Be of joy,
And not of sorrow.
Be of joy, 
Because there's a better tomorrow.
Be of love, 
And not of hate.
Be of an emboldened spirit, 
And stand in your faith.
Whatever offenses you may encounter in the world, even if they be doubled, 
Remember that it is written:
'Let not your heart be troubled.'
