Courage takes a leap of faith,
grounded in grace,
uplifted by hope.
"Wait for the Lord, be strong, and left your heart take courage." ~~ Psalm 27:14
=========================================
Need to Borrow a Cup of Courage?
When you’re down and out and unable to go on, sometimes you need to borrow the courage to move forward. Once you do, a time may come when someone else needs it — and you can pay it forward.
Sometimes when others are in a situation over which they have no control, they need us to hold to our vision of them, even if that isn’t the vision, they have of themselves at the time. They need us to hold in our minds and our hearts the picture of them at their very best — strong, confident, capable and resilient. Then, they need to borrow that vision of themselves to use until they can get themselves back to the place in their lives where they can see themselves that way again. They need to borrow that courageous vision of themselves to make it to the other side.
So to my friend, please borrow this cup of courage, my vision of you. I know you can make a new life for yourself. You are strong, confident, capable and resilient and so much more. Someday you will look back on these days and it won’t hurt you anymore. You will be so much happier in your new life. Until that day, I’m holding this beautiful vision of you here in my heart, and you can look at it as often as you need to. You will do it. I know you will.
Have you ever needed to borrow someone else’s vision of you to get through a tough time in your life?
