A Courageous Heart
A heart filled with courage possess those qualities that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, disappointment, despair, death, and whatever else life throws at them.
Courage is putting our faith in action. To have courage is to act in accordance with our beliefs. If we say we believe in something we should be able to stand for that belief no matter what comes at us.
So, I think it’s safe to say we all need courage to face the future. We need courage so that we’re not debilitated by fear and paralyzed by anxiety, where we cave in and compromise our convictions due to difficult circumstances.
The Apostle Paul said that God has not given to us such a fearful spirit, but rather a mind that is sound, a heart that is filled with love, and a power to face our fears.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) NKJV
