The Question is, Can You Find Your Hidden Courage?
Life is full of challenges. Nobody ever said that life would be easy. If they did…they were lying.
Life’s challenges are the things that build character. They are the things that help us to become who we were meant to be.
Anything worth doing is a challenge.
As Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem to be crucified, He knew what was waiting for Him there. Even so, He kept pushing forward. You want to talk about courage when facing a challenge.
On the way He encountered several people more focused on their worldly situations, rather than focusing on Him and His eternal message.
We need to have our focus in the right place.
If we’re honest, just like Jesus we’re all on a path to our death. Accepting this is a challenge and it takes courage.
“If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll be right.” (Steve Jobs)
One of the best ways to summon our courage is to put others ahead of ourselves.
Think about how courageous a mother is when her children are in danger. Or how a husband will put himself at risk to save the love of his life. This kind of love gives us courage we didn’t even know we had.
Jesus showed this kind of courage when He went to the cross to be killed in our place.
Courage is out there. It’s up to us to incorporate it into our daily lives.
Whatever the challenges are that you’re facing, large or small, you have what it takes to confront them. You have the courage you need…now find it and use it.
Take on life’s challenges with courage and confidence.
