Strength of Will

Love who you are and be true to who you love. As time goes by, take every opportunity you can to change yourself for the better. You never know what the future holds. Remember, love not only yourself but also those around you. As I have been coming to know, strangers are merely friends we have not yet met. As we all share in this one world, we too share in one God. We must be willing to share our faith with others just as we must be willing to serve them. When we have hopes, dreams, and goals set for ourselves we must not lose sight of them. They must be rooted in faith and shared with others. Success is not far away if an effort to succeed is shown. The human will is a powerful thing. Willingness, want, and drive are more than half the battle. As you develop your necessary skill set and take opportunities, the rest will fall into place. Remember: God helps those who help themselves. If you have the will and the want for strength, pray. In addition, no matter how often you pray in times of need, you must never forget your prayers of thanksgiving. Today, I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to spread His Word, I thank Him for the songbirds outside my window, and I thank Him for bringing so many new people into my life. The more often you profess prayers of thanksgiving, the more you realize how many things have been given to you. These are the things that will help you achieve your hopes and dreams: as long as you are willing.
