The Bible gives us a lot of examples of people who found the courage to be themselves by believing that God loved them for who they were.
God doesn’t want us to feel like we have to conform in order to be accepted, and wants to help us become strong enough to stand for what we believe and who we are.
A courageous person is someone who isn’t shaken by circumstances, may experience fear but doesn’t live in it, and is secure and strong no matter what. Does this describe you?
One of the most difficult aspects of walking with God is believing he will exert his power in and through our lives.
