Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
- Ambrose Redmoon

"Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus."

Mark 15:43 NASB

"Joseph, he of Arimathea, noble and honorable in rank and a respected member of the council (Sanhedrin), who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, daring the consequences, took courage and ventured to go to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus."

Mark 15:43 Amplified Bible

Daring the consequences... there was many a wrong thing I did, and dared the consequences... that's natural.

Going the next step and gathering true courage to dare to do right... to go against convention, to do something you've never done before... now that's supernatural... thank you Creator.
