A friend and I were texting yesterday about how we were doing after events this week. In our conversation the topic of courage came up and he said, “I don’t know how it feels right now, but I know how it looks.”
I thought that was a fascinating observation.
Sometimes we need to act a certain way, even if we don’t feel that exact emotion. Sometimes, for example, we need to be loving, even if we don’t feel love. Sometimes we need to act in ways that are faithful, even if we don’t feel faith. And sometimes we need to be courageous, even if we don’t feel full of courage.
