Courage

[Pauline]

courage doesn't always roar.
sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day, saying,
"i will try again tomorrow."

Courage is a pivotal virtue that is cultivated by doing what you fear. It is not the absence of fear. Living in alignment with your purpose, with the God of your Being, takes immense courage.


Courage has the power to change your life in a moment. It causes you to make that decision that you won’t see the fruit of for many years to come. The decision that you know is most True to who you really are. The decision that can change the world.

Today, I give thanks for the courage to change the things that I can change.

i'm not a believer or disbeliever
but this post has really made me sit and think
I found this, and i'm posting it for it's content in bold, but to understand it i felt i needed to post all of it, please read it for it's content not as preaching, hope that makes sense


If someone just left thousands of people in your care with the command to lead those people through wilderness toward a promised land, how would you feel?
Joshua had that exact experience. After Moses, the Israelites’ leader, died, God handed Joshua the leadership baton, and with it came the responsibility to lead the people safely to Canaan. God had created Joshua for this role; even Joshua’s name, which means “the Lord saves,” set Joshua apart to lead the people into the Promised Land. As you might imagine, if Joshua was going to fill Moses’ shoes, he needed a little encouragement. At the beginning of Joshua’s new ministry, God exhorted Joshua to have courage. Four times in Joshua 1, God commands Joshua to be strong and of good courage. God obviously wanted to get His message across!
You and I also need courage. If we want to fulfill the destiny God has planned for us, we need to step out in courage, knowing that God will blaze our trail for us. To receive our inheritance, to successfully fulfill our life purpose, to bring glory to God, we must have a courageous character. Following Christ isn’t an easy task. It requires great strength and courage because we never know what God will call His people to do.
But we can’t muster up courage on our own. Any courage we manufacture within ourselves will vanish in the face of our first trial. We need to get our courage from the Lord. When God told Joshua to have courage, He followed that exhortation with the promise that He would go with Joshua wherever Joshua went. In the same way, God gives us courage for whatever He calls us to do. How? Through our reconciliation with God. When we come to Christ and find in Him our redemption, we gain courage to fulfill God’s purposes for us. We get our courage from knowing that God is our Father who has accepted us unto Himself and whose providence watches over us. Since nothing can separate you from God’s love, go forth boldly into whatever He has for you this day. “Be strong and of good courage…for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Hi Heather,
It makes a ton of sense...
You say you are not a believer
or an unbeliever...
but for everything
you say
and do for Jim
and others like your
friends here on the Forum,
to me, this is a possible sign
of belief...
Someone, such as you,
with so much caring, understanding
and willingness to help so
unselfishly believes
in something...
and I think that something for you
might be our God...
He believes in you.
I just know he does.
He loves you too.
I, also, am not trying to preach
to you, dear friend.
I just want to extend what's in my heart
for you.
I hope you understand
what I am trying to convey
to you.
I want to offer you goodness and
comfort...and make any fears
you have be less.
I'm here for you dear Heather...
as is everyone else.

Thank you for taking the time to type out everything you did in this quote.
I feel as though it was directed just at me. (I know it is for all of us here)...but the words and the meaning was a direct hit for me.
With love and courage,

May a special angel protect and guide you always dear Heather.
