I want to write about courage today. Courage can be shown in different ways but, one thing generally accepted by all and sundry is that a courageous person is fearless. Fear is a very dangerous trait and if you don't deal with it, you can't become better than you were yesterday.
We are confronted by fear at every moment in life. Fear may keep you from being who you were created to be because you don't want criticism. Fear may keep you in bondage as you keep trying to live just to please people. Fear may take away your values when you keep compromising because you can't stand firm on your believe. Fear may keep you from achieving great things because you can't afford to take a risk.
How do we handle fear so we can became what we want to be?
1. Guard you heart: battles are fought and won in the mind. The devil or even people who think they mean well will come to attack your mind. Guard you heart and refuse to let them win.
2. Know your God and trust in Him: people who do not have hope easily give in to despair. If you know God, your hope will be in Him and you are going to trust Him. You can only be afraid of what is greater than you, but why should i fear when nothing is bigger than my God
