Be strong

William E. Moody

Love is the basis of all the strength we could ever need.

When we face tough times—maybe a challenge at work, in our family, in a marriage, with our finances, with our health—an old admonition is often brought to our attention. "Be strong," we're told. It's good counsel, and surely everyone wants to be strong. But when we're being hammered, when we might be feeling vulnerable or afraid, it would help to know more—to know how we can have the strength to meet whatever challenge we're facing. And not simply to endure, but to overcome. To move forward. To gain a victory.
