SAYING 29: DO NOT BE AFRAID

Sometimes it seems like evil is winning. It feels as if there is more despair in the world than there is hope, more sadness than joy. With every news cycle, it can feel that we are caught up in more ethical and moral crises around the globe.

Hope is part of wisdom. In order to live a life of wisdom, we must be able to keep our eyes on the future. A wise person understands that there is more to life than the present hardships. Pain is real, but can’t be prioritized over joy and goodness and friendship and parties and dancing. Remember that evil always has an expiration date, but good is eternal.

- Pastor Andres Figueroa
