Life isn't always easy, but there is a greater purpose behind everything. Please take what you need:

Take STRENGTH.

Philippians 4:13 — “I know how to be brought low and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.”

Take GUIDANCE.

Proverbs 16:9 — “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.”

Take PEACE.

Philippians 4:6 — “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

Take COURAGE.

Deuteronomy 31:6 — “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you.”

Take PROTECTION.

Exodus 14:14 — “The Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent.”

Take LOVE.

John 3:16 — “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Take FAITH.

Hebrews 11:1 — “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

Take HOPE.

Romans 5:3-5 — “More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

Take COMFORT.

Romans 8:18 — “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

Take HAPPINESS.

Psalm 30:5 — “For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Take PATIENCE.

Ecclesiastes 7:8 — “Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”

Take BEAUTY.

1 Peter 3:4 — “Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.”

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
