Be Brave to Stand By Your Convictions

Learn to “draw the line” when it comes to what you will and will not do. Avoid wrongful sell-outs and compromises. Pay no attention to promises of making you rich and happy at the expense of loosing your soul.

What God has given, He can always take back but when man takes from you what was given by God, God will surely replace them with much more. He alone is the Life Giver and no one can take away anything from you except Him. Remain firm in your faith. What you loose for the praise and glory of His Name will surely be returned a lot more.

The Hand of the Lord created all things seen and unseen. All that you have received has been given to you by your Father in Heaven. Look at everything around you. God did not make them out of existing things. Nothing in the world or beyond escapes that hands of God. Do not be afraid but instead hope in the Lord. He shall give you the manly courage to bear and endure all types of pains and sufferings that the world brings. 
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
