"Life’s journey is not traveled on a freeway devoid of obstacles, pitfalls, and snares. Rather, it is a pathway marked by forks and turnings. Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed: the courage to say no, the courage to say yes. Decisions do determine destiny.
The call for courage comes constantly to each of us. It has ever been so, and so shall it ever be."
Standing up for what is right has never been more important. Making correct decisions ought to be one of our main goals because it is through making correct decisions and following the Savior that we learn to become like Him, and have the opportunity to live with Him and our Father in Heaven.
It's not always easy to say "no" to a situation, or to say "yes" when you don't know the outcome. Trust the Lord. He does know, and He loves each one of us. Faith is a choice; choose to trust the Lord, and your faith will sustain you through the times when you don't know what's going on.
Psalm 31:24 says "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."
I know that the Lord can strengthen my heart, if I trust Him, and show my courage to stand up for His gospel, even when it's difficult. He lives, He loves me and you, He wants all of his children to return to Him. He has given us guides to help us find our way back to Him, and He is always ready to receive us, to welcome us with open arms, we just have to choose to follow Him. That takes courage, and faith, and trust.
