Last week in church I heard the testimony of a young woman who did just exactly what my post is about. She stood up with courage in her college class asking a question and defending her beliefs. I believe we will all encounter something similar sometime in our lives. Being true to one’s self might require that we, Dare to Stand Alone.
Our Father in Heaven has given each of us the opportunity to come to earth to gain a physical body and to grow and learn. We all develop our own feelings, opinions and beliefs which might not always be in harmony with others. Daring to stand alone when our beliefs are challenged shows courage, integrity and strength. The things you stand for may or may not be received well by others.
The way we act and the words we speak, can improve or damage the moral culture that surrounds us. Our example has an impact on our families as well as our community.
“The just man walks in his integrity.” Proverbs 20:7
Know who you are, what you believe and Dare to Stand Alone!
