And He said to them all,

"If any man will come

after Me,

let him deny himself,

and take up his cross daily,

and follow Me."

Luke 9:23    

 ************************

 

Courage

rises from the ashes of our fear

and holds on,

no matter what

the future brings ...

 gripping the hand of God

every step of the way.

 (written by Rebecca Barlow Jordan)

"Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and of good courage;

do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,

for the LORD your God is with you

wherever you go."

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)
