I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. — Nelson Mandela
Whenever God has been calling me to higher service, there has always been a conflict with my will. — “Men of the Bible” by Dwight Lyman Moody
A Long Eye and a Short Eye - They make miserable work of their Christian life. They keep one eye on the eternal city and the other eye on the well-watered plains of Sodom. — “Men of the Bible” by Dwight Lyman Moody

Joy is what makes life worth living, but for many joy seems hard to find. They complain that their lives are sorrowful and depressing. What then brings the joy we so much desire? Are some people just lucky, while others have run out of luck? Strange as it may sound, we can choose joy. Two people can be part of the same event, but one may choose to live it quite differently than the other. One may choose to trust that what happened, painful as it may be, holds a promise. The other may choose despair and be destroyed by it.
What makes us human is precisely this freedom of choice.
