The Lion finally received it- The Courageous Heart

Posted by Colleen Crook | Filed under Uncategorized

If you ever saw the movie August Rush, then you saw what it is to have a courageous heart. Here is a young boy living in a children’s home who aside from being musically gifted stands by his belief and inner knowing that he will one day meet his biological parents despite being bullied, taken advantage of by a modern day Fagin and other happenings. It’s a beautiful movie with many layers and depth.

 The courageous heart cherishes self -approval above the approval of others; this heart may stand alone but does not run away or zone out when faced with the fear. This is a fiery heart; the one of passion for a cause, for speaking out when faced with injustice, for having the courage to say no and set boundaries, for leaving an unhealthy relationship or employment, for seeing a solution instead of wallowing in the problem. This heart feels the truth for our Spirit and takes action.

So you can see that the courageous heart is one of action not hesitation. Often I hear people say that they want to do this or change that. They have the idea or desire but balk at the willingness to take action then wonder why their situation hasn‘t changed. It takes courage to set a course that may not be what your family wants, or society deems “normal” or even to put in an application to a college.

Trust in knowing what will feed your Spirit.

In what area can you take one step towards cultivating a courageous heart?
