TOTD, October 15 - Be Courageous

Be Courageous

Today, I was so impressed with Bo Sanchez’s article. Btw, he’s one of my favourite Catholic Writers. And I’m sure, he has great fans all over the world. His article is: Do It Afraid. And there’s something so impressive that I would love to share in this Thought of The Day (TOTD):

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is doing the right thing in the midst of fear. When your heart is pounding. When your knees are shaking. When your sweat is dripping. And you do the right thing anyway. That’s courage. (Bo Sanchez’s Blog).

I think each of us has somehow experience this quite frequently in our life. We thought that we lost our courage and overwhelmed by fear. But Bo has given a very nice saying: courage is not the absence of fear. But, keep doing the right thing even though we’re facing the fear.

Face our fear. Do it anyway with our best efforts. With God’s guidance, we’ll find new courage. Be strong and courageous in Him. He will never leave us.

(-fon-)

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

--- Deuteronomy 31:6
