It ’ s important to note that courage cannot function in an atmosphere of ignorance — it has no ability . Courage is the highest expression of responsibility , and responsibility requires knowledge . It requires courage to follow God ’ s plan for our lives and take steps of faith . So often , in order to move forward and have everything He wants us to have , we have to be willing to step out of our comfort zone and take a risk .
In modern times , when it comes to America , people are not often willing to risk much for their country because they don ’ t realize that everything we have was costly . It wasn ’ t free . To gain freedom is not free , and to maintain it is not free .
