Courage


I watched my friend be courageous when the diagnosis of invasive cancer came at her. She has become a strong warrior, one that is not content until the last cell of cancer is disseminated. There is an unrelenting power that is beyond human limitations within her, which will not be destroyed despite the violent disease. Through the darkness, she has seen the light and has certain hope . . . that the battle will be won.
Isaiah 40:31 says
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
We are empowered through the presence of Christ.  The Apostle Paul explained:  "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else” (Acts 17:24-25).
There is a power that is beyond imagination that God imparts to those who are open to Him.
Receive the power.
Face the battle with courage.
Win.
Celebrate.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . with courage,
                                      Pastor Kerrie
