Coward

"The
coward
threatens
when
he
is safe."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The abuser is a coward.

It does not matter that we abuse ourselves or others, the fear of

facing reality, of looking deep inside of ourselves and admitting

our character defects makes the coward rage, be mean,

be selfish, be self-centered , be less of  a person than what God intended.

Today, be the person God wants you to be.

God has not brought you this far to just let you fall.

Stand up, face reality, tell others how you overcame the character

defects that almost killed you, devastated your self esteem,

destroyed your family, and took everything you owned.

Grow, learn, accept, be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant,

don't be a coward, be the person God wants you to be.

Share the love, know that yesterdays accolades

were just the foundation for today's good deeds.

Only the coward fears tomorrow for he lacks the faith

to carry on.

 Body, mind and soul, yesterday, today and tomorrow,

in balance, a Higher Power will give you the courage

to laugh, love and make this world a better place for all.

Happiness is overcoming the cowardice.
