Determination

Our courage is not defined by what we view as possible, instead it is a reflection of our desire to face impossibilities. The courage to step up from failure, to harness the reigns of your weary horse and ride into the battle of life. Not out of stupidity or madness but out of honor. It is that blessed desire that the lord gives us when we are born. That desire to make an imprint in this world, no matter the cost. We all have it. 

Walking down the street, I am overcome by the remarkable will of human beings. I notice a man burdened with the inability to walk but he chooses not to be bed ridden. I observe a blind lady eloquently attempting to find the handle of the passenger side door of her husbands vehicle. She chose to take on the world and never took a step backwards, regardless of her disability. Her courage cannot be equated to logic nor the confines of scientific reasoning. Her courage was bestowed upon her at birth by God. It is her innate desire to press forward that makes her remarkable. This is our blessing, our truth and our light. For the lord wishes us not to waste away our blessings in life. He intends for us to step forward, into the light, irrespective of the darkness that surrounds us. 

2 Timothy 4:7 

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
