Courage

One word that defines a hero. Fear is probably the greatest enemy a Chrisitan faces in this life. We live by faith therefore the opposite of faith would be tantamount to dying, right? Fear.

Recently, God gave me a test. He gave me two beautiful women, in my hands. With the power to do anything to them at will, God wanted to see what I would do. I had three options: one, wait and just let it flow, getting close to both yet totally unsure of both their feelings; two, press on one and grab, rejecting the other; three, lie to one so as to accept the feelings of one whilst in the heart rejected the other.

I chose door number two. I picked one based on who reminds me of God the most, then drew an irrevirsible line in between me and the other. It would seem that I did pick the right one, but the one I rejected hated me badly. I opened up freshly healed wounds and made the gashes deeper than ever. I knew they were there but the pressing need of making a decision was too great a temptation to pass.

I feared, I trembled. And I made a wrong decision. Now, I still fear and tremble and I do not know what to do.

The moment has come, again. The lesson must be learned. Then I remembered what God promised me concering this new chapter "It's not what you can do anymore, it's whay I can do and will be doing from now on."

I believed. And there I knew exactly what courage is about.

Courage is the evidence of personal victory over fear. That means courage must be fought for and we win it by the guns of grace, by the Spirit, by the blood of Jesus.

The girl I picked reminded me of the verse:

"So do not fear, I am with you."


Courage. The new chapter.
