Bravery and Courage

"The idea that we would actually hand it all over to God and say, 'Go. Build it. Do whatever you want with all I have'... it is terrifying" (page 52). It never stops being terrifying. It isn't the brave ones who pray this prayer, it's the ones who believe God. These days I hear a lot about bravery and courage. But no matter how risky my faith has become, I still have never once felt especially brave or courageous. The only thing that causes me to walk forward is having my eyes fixed on Jesus. The opposite of fear is not bravery and courage--the opposite of fear is faith.
