Words of Hope

I know that it is exam time, and usually it is a challenging period. But looking to what life can offer in the future, it might not be as challenging as it seems... but nevertheless, I just want to share these encouraging words that I found from an anonymous source. Persevere with joy!

"Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." - Nehemiah 8:10

May God make your year a happy one!

Not by shielding your from all sorrows and pain,

But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;

Not by making your path easy,

But by making you sturdy to travel any path;

Not by taking hardships from you,

But by taking fear from your heart;

Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,

But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;

Not by making your life always pleasant,

But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,

And by making you anxious to be there to help.

God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
