COURAGE
such a scary word.
webster's definition: 1) the ability to do something that frightens one 2) strength in the face of pain or grief
wow. what a word. a person cannot put something concrete to courage. it is abstract but we all strive to have courage. to be courageous.
what does the Bible say?
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong"
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
wow. what a wonderful way to live.
yet this courage is so hard to achieve. why is that?
because fear grips us. to face that fear, to conquer it not once, but twice, that is courageous. that takes the breath out of you. it takes your might. it takes your life. its a wonderful feeling, but it's scary.
it is not easy to be courageous. its just not.
if i could give you some advice, even for myself. is be courageous. do it. don't hold anything back.
spit fear in the face. show that you are more than a conqueror. that you can do all things through Christ. in the end, although you are spent, it will be well worth it.
God is Love,
God grants you courage,
He is good
Goodnight
