Take Heart

It takes courage to be a person of destiny.  Courage in its simplest terms deals with the issues of the heart.  Having courage isn’t the absence of fear, but rather, doing what needs to be done in the presence of fear.

Folk that are controlled by fear aren’t using courage.  Fear, I have found out, is not just be scared, but it is a mindset.  Fear can come in all sorts of forms, but it starts in the mind.  Courage, as we said, is an issue of the heart. So fear is a mind issue and courage is a heart issue.  How do we have courage? By being secure in our destiny and purpose.  Knowing that we have a role to play in this life.  Knowing that failure is not the end of all ends, but a measuring stick of our courage.  Adversity will expose our fear or our courage.  We have opportunities everyday to demonstrate our courage or fear.  Which one is determining our actions; our fears or our courage? It will be one or the other.  So, if you consider your a person of destiny; I do for you and for me, you will be a person of courage.  Take heart! Be courageous today. Look into your heart and find that courage and build on it.
