Take Heart
“Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Jesus never promised a life without hardship - but He did promise victory. Trials may shake you, but they won’t break you. Because He has overcome, you can walk in peace and confidence. Hold your head high. Take heart. You’re walking in the footsteps of the One who already conquered the storm.
Reflection
What does “taking heart” look like in your life right now? Invite Jesus into that place.
