To Live is to Fight with Courage

“We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are.” -Madeleine L’Engle

There was a time when I thought that if I could solve all of my problems, I could finally sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of my life. I’ve realized however that even if you get to solve all your problems today, you really have no assurance that you won’t have to face any tomorrow.

Life goes on. And as long as it does go on, problems will continue to appear and we have to continue solving them.

Courage then is not a temporary tool we could use, but a lifetime virtue we need if we want to live a victorious life.

We have to be brave enough to face each and every obstacle that would come our way. And we have to have a motivation strong enough to be able to withstand all the storms that dare to destroy what we love most.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

“But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed…” – 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, WEB
