Courage to Be

Haiku string

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

It is such the best

decision, for life and love,

to choose to be whole.

+++

Look up. He sees you

and hears your heart. He answered.

Now believe, trust it.

+++

What to make you brave?

I’ll give everything I have,

to give you courage.

+++

The ocean stands still

as you step out of the boat.

Your Light is growing.

+++

Take our hand.

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”

Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
