Courage

Courage

I’ve just got back from Scotland – I had an amazing time up there, visiting Queen’s Park Baptist Church in Glasgow. The Scots are incredible, and God really is good everywhere you look!

I did find the whole northern adventure a little scary…I was going somewhere I’d never been to do something I’ve never really done before. And I’ve been thinking about that verse in Deuteronomy about loving the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength - what does it mean to love God with all your strength? Maybe it’s that you spend yourself and your energy on him, to love him and follow him courageously, when it takes guts. To do hard things.

I’m so grateful that I got to go north, because Glasgow a place where God is doing stuff, and I’ve had the chance to go and be a part of it all. I had the chance to do something hard. And I found other people who love God with all their strength, with all the courage their hearts can muster.

Let’s do it too – live with courage.
