So maybe today held some things you weren't expecting? Or maybe everything changed so suddenly you were left wondering how 24 hours could change so much. And maybe you feel so exhausted you don't know what to do next. Because bravery? Yeah, bravery takes a lot of strength. It's hard. Being brave, being full of courage, is just downright hard. And some days? Well, some days we just don't have the strength to face it all. Because sometimes the scariest thought of all is stepping into what's unknown. Embracing the unknown moments of tomorrow seems scary enough, but embracing the unknown moments of next month or next year? Nope, no thank you. That takes too much brave. Sweet soul reading these words right now, I didn't break into your Wednesday evening to tell you a list of ways to step up and do the right thing even when you're scared. I didn't write this post to show you all the ways you could be brave but aren't. I wrote this as a reminder. A reminder that brave is your middle name. How? Why? Because no matter what you may feel about who you are, it can never change or take away the truth about Whose you are. And the One to whom you belong? Well, I can promise you that He's big enough for any scary moment that tomorrow or your next moment holds. So yeah that scary step you're not sure you should take? That courage you're not sure you can muster up to step into the unknown? It's okay. Take a deep breath and this, this is what I want you to always remember. You are brave because He is brave in you. And with your God you can scale any wall of fear in your path (Psalm 18:29), and with your God you can defeat any Goliath standing in your way (1 Samuel 17:45-46). You are brave. You are strong. He has given you just enough courage for this moment. You got this. But you can't give up, okay? God's warriors don't quit and they don't give up. They keep going--they keep on being brave--even when it's hard. It'll all be worth it in the end. Let Him be the brave inside of you today, dear brave you. *I'm linking up with Holley Gerth in her blog linkup this week, and you can check out her lovely post by clicking the button below and also view the other encouraging posts linked as well!*
