Compared to most flying things, a bee is very small, but the honey it makes is the sweetest of foods. – Sirach 11:3, GNT
There are times when others may look down on us, times when we are measured by our stature, our positions, our influence or our riches. There are times when we may find it hard to believe in ourselves anymore and to believe in the great plans God has for us.
During such times, don’t believe the many voices that try to put you down! Rather, listen well to the voice of God who loves you and encourages you. He alone knows what great potentials you have. He alone knows what riches are within your eternal soul.
Consider not your smallness, but the greatness of your God! Consider not what others see, but what God sees in you. – Jocelyn Soriano
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
