Gideon: Courage to see what God sees

Sometimes God sees something in us that we don't see. We can allow circumstances, mistakes and other people determine how we see ourselves and forget what God says we are. We can take courage from God that when He says we can do something, He will give us what we need to accomplish that task. Take heart from Gideon who became the mighty warrior God said he was.
