Verse of the day

We are afflicted in every way but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo — far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.

Jodi Picoult, “My Sister’s Keeper” (2004)

Creator, thank you for your strength that keeps us resilient, like the flexibility of bamboo under great burdens.
