“KEEP YOUR COURAGE”
This phrase is written in big letters in my notes from this week’s Love to Live it sermon series. But it has become so much more than something I just wrote in my Journal.
It seems that God keeps trusting me with more and more things, it’s crazy but really cool! However, there have already been a few times this week where I have started to get overwhelmed by what God is asking me to do, and God just keeps saying to me: “Keep Your Courage.” Now mind you, God isn’t telling me to find what I need inside of myself, He is telling me to find what I need in Him- who is my strength and courage. He is saying: “Be strong and COURAGEOUS. Don’t be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9)
Not only do I need to keep my courage in the big tasks that God has assigned me, I have to practice courage in daily life- wherever I go! Courage has to be a part of my DNA- when I keep Jesus’ courage everyday, I won’t be afraid to talk to strangers or take risks to share Jesus with anyone! Then the possibilites of what God can do in and through me are endless!
Courage isn’t just something I have to keep in order to do well with the “big things” God has trusted me with; it is something I need to have EVERYDAY (say in nacho voice, if you know what I’m talking about ha). I am clinging to Jesus- my COURAGE- through Him all things are possible!
