I love what Jesus said in John 16:33: “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (NLT). What does it mean to take heart? Don’t give up. Be encouraged. Lift your spirits. And do this on purpose. With intention. Literally, take courage. Choose it. When you feel tired, discouraged, disappointed, or run down, make the choice to take heart.
