F4S: You hardly need any courage at all to have bad character, but it's courage that makes good character possible and that’s what we all need. Sure, it takes more especially when there is opposition to the good you do. And guess what.. there will be some of that at times. Courage basically empowers us who serve others.. to do what’s right in the face of fear, mocking, fatigue, or uncertainty. Sin eventually makes people miserable, but right living with the Lord brings a total happiness inside. Character is a part of that. What really helps when you’re lackin’ some is simply to pause and pray and obey.. cuz God is the One who empowers people even more so.
