[“Courage is living life in face of fear”, Bryan Patterson in the Sunday Herald Sun]

Poet Patrick Overton said we stand every day at the edge of possibilities, inbetween what was and what will be. We choose to confront that with either faith or fear.

“When you come to the end of everything you know, and the next step is into the depths of darkness of the great unknown, you must believe one of two things: Either you will step out on to firm ground or you will be taught to fly” he said.”

“God says ‘I will never leave you’ so I will not fear. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God’s say-so.”

“Faith in many of us falters when the apprehensions come. We forget to take a deep breath spiritually.”

Overton is right. We should love and live with courage and faith. There’s really nothing to lose.
