Courage

When you hear or think of this word, what thoughts go through your mind?

Courage is defined as:

"The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery"

 

But then the word "desponding" comes to mind for a lot of young adults these days.

Desponding is defined as:

"To be depressed by loss of hope, confidence, or courage" 

 

How often in today's society do young adults have the fear, worry or anxiety of not being able to move forward.  To believe that their past mistakes control their future.  Not knowing how to let go of the past and look forward to what lies ahead. 

 

How often do we not take the time to notice these young adults who feel hopeless.  What can be done?  Who should help?  Where do these young adults go for help?  Who should they turn to in desperate times when no one is there for them.

 

Are we so busy in our lives that we can't take 10 minutes to give a compliment or offer Godly advise to someone who looks lost.  If we all just wait for "someone" else to do it then nothing gets done.

A point to ponder on my friends...
