“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9. Every time I read or hear this quote, it puts a smile on my face. In my opinion, this quote has several positive meanings. I see it as God telling me to stay positive, and not to be negative. I see it as God telling me not to be afraid to be myself no matter what other people say. I also see it as him telling me to stand up for what I believe in. When, and if, I ever feel discouraged, this quote lets me know that the Lord my God will be with me wherever I go. It makes me feel safe. All in all, keeping a positive attitude, being myself, and staying firm in my beliefs is what this quote means to me. Joshua 1:9 brought me to be the person I am today.

Good for you Bryce. You've taken the best of what this verse/quote has to offer and turned it into life long inspiration. you did a great jog and wrote it all together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBryce, I'll tell you what, you've got a good head on your shoulders, to say the least. I think it's pretty cool that you can stay true to yourself and around others as well. Putting on a positive attitude on a day today basis is something everyone should think about doing. Your a strong Christian and I admire that more than anything. It's something I strive for, and something you should be proud of.
