“Even On Your Worst Day, You Can Be A Student’s Best Hope” is the title of a book written by Manny Scott. It is also a great reminder for you and me.
Even if you are not an educator you have an opportunity to be someone’s best hope today.
A kind word.
A smile.
A good deed.
Even if your day turns sideways stay strong and be prepared to serve someone who needs some help.
When you’re feeling down, feeling tired, and feel like you just want to get the day over with, one of the quickest and best ways to regain some positive energy is to help somebody else.
Stay strong. You are someone’s best hope and inspiration today. You are a difference maker.
Believe it, and live today with more than a purpose to just survive it. Someone needs you to stay strong and they will be better because of it. You will be too.
I’m cheering for you.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 ESV
[9] But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
[10] For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, Paul reminds us that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in our weakness.
When we face hardships, insults, and difficulties, it is an opportunity for Christ’s power to shine through us.
As Christ followers, we don’t have to rely on our own strength. Instead, we can embrace our weaknesses, knowing that they make room for God’s strength.
When we feel inadequate or overwhelmed, let’s remember that Christ’s power rests on us. This divine strength enables us to serve others with love and compassion, even when we feel weak.
Our struggles become testimonies of God’s grace and power, encouraging others to lean on Him as well.
So, delight in your weaknesses, for they are the very moments when God’s strength becomes evident.
Trust in His grace, and let His power flow through you to serve and uplift those around you.
Be Blessed!
