The Definition of Bravery.

I was driving home from a wedding with my good friend Kevin the other day, and some events throughout the course of the day had gotten my thoughts racing and emotions weighing heavily upon me.  Kevin was sharing with me about his preparations for his one-way ticketed trip to Taiwan when we began to discuss the definition of bravery.

Kevin said to me,

"Bravery is not defined as fearless
Jesus was freaking out on his way to the tree."
He even asked the Father if there was any other way!

But then, we see Jesus moving forward.
Not because He fully understood, arrived at a complete peace, or even got His way.
But because He knew His HOPE and His TRUST lie in Obedience to the Father's will.

That's bravery.
