"Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. 'Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened'... For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteousness, to bring you to God."--1 Peter 13,14 & 18
Whatever it is you accomplished today—whether you felt it was big or small, successful or maybe not so successful—know that it was worthy. Your effort and intentions alone are so worthy of God's purpose. You are doing exactly what he intended all of his followers to do, to bring people to Him as Jesus brought you. I know it's not always easy. Sometimes it's HARD—it's hard to choose service and compassion and grace; it's hard to choose courage over fear; it's hard to choose trusting Jesus despite everything that could possibly go wrong. But every time you choose, it is so, so worthy. "Do not fear," God says. Jesus suffered, and sometimes you will too, but He is always right there with you through it because He went through the same thing. And in the end, regardless of what happens, God says, "you are blessed" because your heart is in the right place. You all are so worthy and so blessed for being here.--Leilani Ly
