If you have ever been the only one in a large group, like a class in middle school or high school, to defend someone or something that you know is wrong, then you are what we consider a hero.
Standing up for what you believe in at all times is not only one of the most admirable traits a person can possess. Standing up for what you believe in requires a great amount of courage first and foremost, but also requires a person to be knowledgeable on the subject that they are standing up for.
Many times when we may be standing up for a belief, idea or opinion the belief we share may not be the most popular belief and will require us to be relentless in our approach, unwavering despite whatever the consequences may be. Doing what's right requires a person with a strong heart. Remember to always go with your gut, when you see something that you feel is absolutely wrong, do what your conscience is telling you that you should do, you never know who or what you may be helping!
God is asking us, waiting for us and challenging us to be strong in our faith and stand up for what He stands for. Unconditional love.
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
Who is willing to take on the challenge!!!! STAND UP!!!
