Chapter 3 About courage

I'm chicken when it comes to many things. I would rather play a game with my kids around the table than fly off to New York to see a Broadway show. I don't like the dark, snakes, or spiders, and I really freak out about the thought of uncontrolled fire, but the scariest thing in my life is to "fess up" when I do something wrong. So I'd rather just not do anything wrong, thank you. lol. Yah, that doesn't happen.

So I've learned a lot about courage over the years.

True courage doesn't come from being brave, or strong. It doesn't come from gritting your teeth and just getting through it. It doesn't come from practice, or wearing a super-hero cape.

It comes, instead, from the soft side of your soul. Surprisingly enough, Courage comes from humility. It comes from the love that you feel from your Heavenly Father, from the Savior, or even from your parents or your friend-whoever you need to "fess up" to, and it grows with the love that you share for them in return.

When you feel this love, humility melts the ice that was "protecting your heart" and you become free - you become strong enough to get through anything!

So, these are just my thoughts. What are yours? . . .
