Brave

on Jul 30, 2013

“Be brave, my son, for tomorrow is a good day and I have a plan for you. It will be for you good, and not for your destruction. It will be for your life and not your death. It will be filled with joy and great hope. The good is gone, that I had for you, but do no fear. I have another good, greater than your eyes have seen or you heart has known. I have a good that I give freely to you, that none will take away. You have paid a great cost, that which I never wished any to pay, but you will be recompensed. You will face great cost again, but not as you have these days. These days shall be what you carry with you, to mourn beside those who mourn, to lift up those who stumble, and to sit amongst those whose only relief is the silence presence of their friends. I have good for you. Don’t turn away from me. The road is difficult, but I will be the fighting force behind your victory. The air is thin when you think you’ve lost all breath, I will fill your lungs again. And when you feel that you cannot carry any further, the burden I have asked of you, then rest in me and I will renew your strength.

Be brave, my son. I am your father. Be brave, my son. I am a mighty king. Be brave, my son. You are a friend of mine. Be brave, my son. I will empower you and guide you step by step.

Be brave, my son.”
