Courage in embracing weakness

Have we at times forgotten that courage is not about doing the impossible? If courage is a matter of tangible actions, then fear factor shall be the tool of measurement. Oh the world measures courage in such superficial terms!

When was the last time we summoned courage from the depths of our hearts? My last encounter was 1-2 months back. Sometimes summoning courage changes our course of life, well it did for mine at least. One week ago, i witnessed the courage of a sister in Christ. She may not have thought so, but in my eyes she displayed magnificent courage from within her. True courage will differ from individual to individual. For most, courage is facing our own music, trying to overcome our own weaknesses. For some, perhaps REAL courage lies in saying 'no'. The courage to say we can't do it. It is true, we are weak and vulnerable beings.
