STRENGTH
Greetings and blessing upon you. Your rays of sunshine (your words) have reached me, so I just wanted to take a few moments to send some rays your way.

You are correct when you say that the sun shall always rise upon a new day, and there shall always be a rose garden within me. But the sunrise cannot always be seen through the numerous clouds that cover the sky like a blanket. Dark clouds hover above so thickly some days that I am unable to soak up the sun's rays. And due to the lack of consistent sunlight every day, the garden within me can never fully blossom nor reach its full bloom. Nevertheless, I continue to plant the seeds of strength within the soil of my soul so that the garden within could eventually be filled with orchids, vines, and wild roses. But, due to the clouds of mental and emotional anguish that sometimes blacks out this much-needed sunshine, the garden within can never fully materialize nor be properly maintained like it should.

Besides being physically confined, many individuals behind these walls are mentally and emotionally incarcerated as well. Sadly, many individuals on the outside are also faced with incarceration of the mental and emotional. Within all human beings, there's both weakness and strength. But many tend to lean heavily toward weakness because weakness is much more easier to embrace. Strength, on the other hand, is the quality of being strong. Strength is the ability to do or endure. Strength is POWER.

Through the mental and emotional suffering, inner strength can be found. Your weakness can turn into your strength once you learn how to let your strengths be your strengths, and your weaknesses be your strength.
