Courageous Living

Courage is not the absence of fear but acting for good in the midst if it these words are so very true which are so meaningful fit Fear doesn't need to be so bad Real-living courage is really good it overcomes all our grief this should be clearly understood God says do not fear so often throughout scripture His word of authority stands enabling to fully endure What a beautiful picture of courage full of power but remember even when weak rise up at the appointed hour Remember Jesus on the cross looked so weak but in control for He brought life from the dead being God, made His children whole Learn courageous living storm ahead, be divinely driven

Hello Gordon. I turned to this entry at random. You never strayed from the title. What a reminder of what has been given up for us and humanity. Your words reach the reader. At least this one (smile). The rhyme pattern flowed with ease and coherence. I liked your line "being God, made His children whole". The entry is meaningful. Thank you for sharing your skilled talent. It was a pleasure turning to your page. May this day find you well. Peace and Blessings always. (smile)

This is so wonderful to read dear Gordon. The first two opening lines are so powerful and the rest of the poem is so inspiring. I love the title too. ‘ but remember even when weak rise up at the appointed hour’. So positive and inner strength shining through. Love the last stanza with its profound message. So enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. Hope you are keeping well. Blessings to you :):)

OUR LORD ALWAYS INSPIRES, GIVES US COURAGE WHEN WE HAVE TO FACE FEAR. OUR FAITH GIVES US THE INSPIRATION OF FACING FEAR IN AN HOUR OF WEAKNESS AND PLOUGHING THROUGH IT, SO WE CAN REACH THE OTHER SIDE, SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS. MY FRIEND, BUT IT HAS BEEN A LONG DAY! hugs and blessings, JENNIFER

Dear Gordon, Truly inspiring! It beautifully captures the essence of true courage - not the absence of fear, but acting for good despite it. Your words, "Fear doesn't need to be so bad," is powerful . This poem offers not only encouragement but also a powerful framework for overcoming fear by drawing strength from faith. The imagery of Jesus rising from the dead reminds us that even in weakness, we can rise and claim victory. Your poem leaves me feeling empowered to face challenges with courage, fueled by faith and a desire to do good. A very powerful message! - Blessings, Daniel
