Courage is something my wife Linda has in huge supply. She doesn't make any claim to being a courageous person, but she's a shining example of strength in the face of pain.
Her days begin with God. It doesn't matter what mood she's in or how much pain she has. Linda pushes through pain and pushes aside any distraction that keeps her from spending time with God.
Responding to the needs of others with tremendous compassion, Linda disregards her own needs and pours out her heart. She is a prayer covering for hurting people. Empathy is a river of love flowing to those who call upon her.
Immersing herself in the grace of God allows Linda to pour out His mercy and tenderness. My wife is capable of soaking up immeasurable amounts of God's wisdom. She takes that wisdom and dispenses it prayerfully.
Softheartedness in the face of a world filled with hardheartedness is an example of courage - the courage of Christ. Linda looks for the face of Jesus in everyone she meets. She looks past her own pain and helps those around her seek peace.
True love is the laying down of one's life for another. Linda's first love is God. She has laid her life down for Him by laying her life down for the people He puts in her path. Linda's courage and commitment to Christ makes her a Bright Spot in this world and the next.
Thanks for your time.
Go and help somebody create a Bright Spot.
Jesus loves you and so do we.
