"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
- Edith Wharton

The strong among us must awaken the strength in others. There is a strength in each and every person that needs to be awakened, so that life ceases to feel like a toss up, or a game which has clandestine rules--- or rules that work for some and not others.
A loss of security, purpose, and direction certainly makes life feel uncertain. But when you find your footing, as Jesus instructed, “strengthen your brethren” (Luke 22:32). Everyone goes through trials and tribulations. Your faith may falter because the hardships of life make you question everything that you believe. But when you find strength, and are anchored in hope again, remember there are others who are struggling as you did. Others that need hope as you did. Others who do not have anyone. They, too, need to be nudged in the right direction to get the help that they need.
