Be Brave, Be Bold

I once heard it said: “Bravery is being willing to stand up for what you believe
to be true, whereas boldness is being willing to do what God would have you do, even if it goes beyond what you believe to be true.” Bravery is a great human attribute, where as boldness comes from God, it’s a gift of faith. For example, one can bravely stand up against one’s enemy, but it takes a certain God-given boldness to love that same enemy; one can bravely stand up in the midst of a difficult situation, but it takes a certain God-given boldness to sit down and let Go-let God in that same situation!
