But, no matter how scared, hesitant, unmotivated or unwilling we might be, God gives us the promise of His presence. Amelia Earhart wrote the following poem. It's the only courage available which ultimately will be able to pay the price to grant peace in our ministries. Unless we recognize the courage which God gives for our calling, we may never experience the peace that results from following through with the courage of God. Yes, as Amelia said, it will be lonely.
Fear is, after all, a lonely thing.
But God's gracious presence overcomes all fear and gives us courage. Others may be between a rock and a hard place. But God's chosen ones are always between THE Rock and a hard place. Copyright 1997-2001 Ministry Health, LLC All Rights Reserved.
