It is hard to be brave and courageous in a world filled with so much judgement, unfair treatment, shame, blaming, and hate filled shouting. Many times we do not realize just how brave we have been in a situation. But, friends who remind us are true treasures.
If someone has commented to you on your brave words and actions tell them how much you appreciate their encouragement.
Arise! For this matter is your responsibility, but we will be with you; be courageous and act.” Ezra 10:4
