God’s forgiveness and love can soften even our most ungrateful hearts and motivate us to treat others around us with love and compassion.
A courageous person is someone who isn’t shaken by circumstances, may experience fear but doesn’t live in it, and is secure and strong no matter what. Does this describe you?
