"The most common one-liner in the Bible is, "Do not be afraid." Someone counted, and it occurs 365 times." ~ Richard Rohr
Pair this with a quote from the book Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter:
"if God took the trouble to tell us eight hundred times [in the Bible] to be glad and rejoice, He must want us to do it - SOME.”
So, be glad and unafraid.
Call upon strength and reach in for courage.
You have what you need to be confident and brave.
For gladness be grateful; joy will emerge.
May it keep your heart open.
With love and compassion,
Charlene
