CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Fortitude, or courage. With Fortitude, we can overcome our fear & are willing to take risks as a follower of Jesus. With courage, a person is willing to stand up for what is right in the sight of God, even if that means accepting rejection, verbal abuse, or even physical harm & death.
The Gift of Courage allows people the firmness of mind that is required both in doing good and enduring evil.
Fortitude gives us strength to follow through on the actions suggested by the gift of Counsel (or Right Judgement). Fortitude is what allows martyrs to suffer death rather than renounce Jesus or their faith. Willing to endure danger if necessary, but does not seek out danger for danger’s sake.
St. Paul, in his letter to Corinth, says, “3 times, I begged the Lord about this (affliction), that it might leave me, but He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for the power is made perfect in weakness.’ St. Paul goes on to say, “I will rather boast most gladly my weakness, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with the weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong” (2nd Corinthians 12:8-10).
MOLESKIN:
I have now posted 44 times and this is my 4th Q. Words cannot express my love for this group of HIM. All of them, at all the other AOs. I have never experienced a group in my life that is so dedicated to one another. Who cares about each and every man that shows up. Even in the short time I have been participating, I am so lucky to be a part of this group. I just hate that it took me over a year to come out after first learning about F3.
