Only the one who wears the shoe knows where the pain is felt. Others can only see how beautiful and shiny the shoe is; even if the feet in the shoe is rotten.




When the reason to live is not substantial and the reason to go isn’t justified too, hanging between choices; when happiness becomes one with sadness; and gloom merges with a smile facade.



And it is said “Just be strong”

What exactly is Strength!
What does it mean to be strong?


Is being strong is equal to living a sad and gloomy life?

Does it mean staying longer for a soon coming death?

Does it mean masking your lifeless soul with a cheerful outlook?

Or maybe being strong means becoming a sacrifice for all in the person of another saviour 🤔🤔


The phrase “Just be strong” loses its value without HIS presence.

Only HE can supply the strength that keeps one going just as HE has kept me going.

When I was in a dark tunnel, HE smiled at me.

The pain caused by the scorning and mockery of men gave way to His reassuring and loving smile.

I can truly ‘Be strong’ because the source of my strength is eternal.

I can truly be happy because the source of my happiness is Joy of The Spirit.

In the fire, HE is with me.
On the troubled waters, HE is with me.
Even in the valley of death, I fear no evil because HE is with me.
Even when everyone leaves me, HE never leaves me.
Even all has given up on me, He upholds me with His Right hand.

HE is Abba, My Father.

Beloved, be strong because HIS will for I and you is not for evil but for good; to bring us to His expected end.

To be strong is to know Abba, hold unto his word and live according to the Spirit; not giving heed to the senses or flesh, but seeing His wondrous works and goodness in all situations.

Abba is strength, to be strong is to have Abba with you and in you, in oneness.
