Day Three
Today I worked through Day Three of 100 Days to Brave. The task at the end of the devotional was to journal about two or three events or moments in your life where someone might have labeled you as brave.
While trying to think through different events it hit me, “What one person might label as brave, another person might label as stupid.”
Because every moments that popped into my mind I was immediately reminded of how that was a ridiculous thing to do. But isn’t that just like the enemy? He wants to take every good thing about you and twist it and distort it. If you can look past those lies, refocus on the truth of Christ, you can marvel at how God has equipped you.
Looking back on my life I realized I was braver than I ever gave myself credit for. I’ve never really thought of how vulnerable and transparent I allow myself to be and how that is brave. I’d forgotten I made the first move with my husband. I’d overlooked how I’d stretched myself to embrace a leading. I deserve none of the glory. It all goes to God. But of how grateful I am that I was reminded of all these precious things. And in the process I’m learning to not fear others opinions.
