Courage instills confidence in a person... A person without courage cannot be an encourager. This is one of the reasons so many people today are so discouraged; few courageous people exist to encourage them.

Thirza:
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking. I’ve come to appreciate a guy named Barnabas in the New Testament. You can read about him in a number of places in Acts. Here’s an example below. Out of courageous people came great sacrifice, great power and great grace. The quote maybe needed more context.
Acts 4:32-37 -- Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. There was a Levite, a native of Cyprus, Joseph, to whom the apostles gave the name Barnabas (which means "son of encouragement"). He sold a field that belonged to him, then brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
