Be COURAGEOUS

Dear Courageous Christian Girls,

I hope this message finds you filled with God's love as we gather here today to discuss a topic that is close to our hearts: courage. In a world that often challenges our beliefs and values, it takes immense courage to stand firm in our faith and live out our calling as followers of Christ. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9. 

Being a Christian girl is no easy task. We face countless pressures from society, peers, and even ourselves. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, insecure, and afraid. But remember, you are not alone. God has equipped you with the strength and courage to face every challenge that comes your way. Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.  1 Corinthians 16:13. 

In the Bible, we find numerous examples of courageous women who stepped out in faith and made a difference. Esther risked her life to save her people. Deborah fearlessly led her nation into battle. Ruth showed remarkable loyalty and obedience. Mary, the mother of Jesus, embraced God's plan for her life with courage and humility. 

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3. 

These women faced their own trials and doubts, just like we do. But they chose to trust in God and His promises. They allowed their faith to fuel their courage, even when the world seemed against them. They remind us that being courageous doesn't mean being fearless; it means having faith in the face of fear. Take courage, knowing that God is with you every step of the way. Be bold, be strong, and be unafraid, for you are a cherished daughter of the King.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6.
