Boldness, Courage, Failure, Jesus, Success, Winston Churchill

Jesus challenges me to have courage and to not be afraid. That is God’s goal for me, every day. I must wake up thankful and anticipating what Jesus will do. Jesus has plans for me that I don’t even understand. Boldness is his way. Jesus sees what God is doing and does only that. That is what Jesus wants for me as well.

May I be bolder today.

May I see only what Jesus wants and have the courage to do what he commands me to do.

Appease, Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

Should we just agree with someone to appease them and keep the peace? Jesus challenges us to speak the truth understanding that we may be ridiculed and persecuted. In some situations, it may get us killed. If someone demands we deny Jesus we must not appease them by agreeing. There are lesser kinds of appeasement that kill our soul.

The crocodile will eat us sooner or later.
