“God grant me the serenity to
change the things I can; courage accept
the things I can’t and the wisdom to know the difference.” Reinhold Niebuhr
Courage
means strength, inner strength. Courage is commendable. It took courage for the
French people in World War 2 and for the Kuwaiti people in Desert Storm to have
resistance movements during their times of captivity and occupation.
It takes
courage to love a person with a compulsive make-up. It also takes courage to
stand up to someone enraged at another party when we feel ‘caught in the
middle.’ This courage is not based on size, familial relationship, or
friendship. This courage must come from the LORD.
A lot of
people who know the LORD have to rely on Him to get up each day When I went
through a prolonged time of depression, a friend knew what I meant when I said,
“I’m making it.” One day, she told me that was something to praise God for.
Lord,
please help me to be courageous during hard times. I love You and want to live
for you at all times.
And He will help us to be courageous Cecelia, that is a promise. Look at all the martyrs at the moment, wow, such courage. It must come from God, otherwise we will fall short.
ReplyDeleteMarja: Thank you for your warm comment. Because of what you invited me to look at, I realize those nine people in Charleston, SC were martyred. And, yes, such courage must come from God.
DeleteSo very true. Thanks for sharing.
