Last week I had a special guest post from Dr. Angela Bisignano on Stepping Into Courage. It was too good to miss, but in case you did, I wanted to highlight some of my favorites from her inspiring words.
“Every day we have the opportunity to choose to live courageous lives. The choice may not always be easy; however, living a life of courage can be thrilling.”
Fear has been a number one struggle for me most of my life. However, I didn’t always know it. I pretended to be tough, but inside I was scared to death. I’m a constant work in progress in this area.
My life verse is 2 Timothy 1:7 for a reason – because I struggle with fear. But God reminds me,
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
Here are a few other great points that Angela made:
- The more we are able to understand our fear and the influence it can have on us, the greater the possibility of conquering it and over coming it.
- We are not created or called to live a life of fear; rather, God is calling us to a life of courage.
- If we desire to live truly courageous lives we will need to be aware of those things that keep us fearful.
