Be Courageous
Just a quick thought I wanted to share with you –
We’re told many times in the Bible to be courageous. God doesn’t tell us to feel courageous. He says, “Be courageous.” Often it’s more about us doing that thing God has asked us to do even though we might still feel nervous or fearful. Courage is doing it anyway. Do it knowing that God will show up and help you through it. Do it knowing that the world’s response is much less important than the obedience you’ve shown in doing it. If you’re waiting for a feeling of courage to come before you step out of your comfort zone, you’re going to wait yourself right out of an opportunity to do something great.

God doesn’t tell us to feel courageous. He says, “Be courageous.” Wow, Gwen, this is fresh insight. If we wait until we feel brave or courageous, we may be waiting forever!

Just like heal the sick, He really sees us different than we see ourselves.

So true – if we would see ourselves the way He does, it would be life-changing! Thanks for commenting!
