courage... the forgotten virtue




'Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.' C. S. Lewis

'Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.' Anais Nin (1903-77)


'Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all others thoughts are drained.' Arthur Somers Roche


i thank we can all identify with the above quotes......
God has told us in joshua, that our ability to be courageous is linked with our realization that we are not alone... that God himself is with us.
check out joshua 1.9

couple these thoughts with the last post.. 'get busy living or get busy dying..'
where is God calling you to risk something for Him?

risk or rust
