How Great
Some food for thought.
God Bless.
“How Big is God?” asks the old gospel song. The answer, in a word, is “Bigger.” He is greater than any measure applied. When we have praised Him until all strength is gone and intellectual capacity exhausted, we have not even begun to satisfy His worthiness of praise.
When we extend grace that goes beyond all cause or reason, giving ourselves up to extend love to another, we have only offered the barest reflection of the grace He offers to all, whether saint or sinner. When we have loved to complete consummation, we are shadowed by transcendent love demonstrated on a Roman cross. When we boast in our knowledge, parade our successes, gloat over our technologies, or take pride in our wisdom, creation must stifle its laughter for we are but dust.
How great is God? If you have a measured answer, you don’t know God.

Real Courage
Leaving it right here.
God Bless.
Real courage is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. Doing the unpopular thing because it's what you believe, and the heck with everybody.
Justin Cronin, The Summer Guest
Today's Meditation:
It is not always easy going against the current and standing up for what we believe in. By doing so, we are faced with ridicule and exclusion and often times appear too proud and defiant. But throughout the course of our lives, there are times in which real courage is demanded of each of us. And if I can do the right thing simply because it is what I believe--even when no one is looking, or even if it is unpopular--I become a man of integrity, a man of character.
Therefore, the first thing we must do to have real courage is to have beliefs. What are my values? What makes up the core of who I am and what I stand for? After I have taken the time to recognize these, I can go about putting them into action in my life. If I believe that treating others as I wish to be treated is an important value to me, then I must do that. Additionally, I have to stand up for my beliefs when I see others going against them. So if I see someone being mistreated, I need to stand up for that person. This need not be done in a negative way, or in a way that hurts anyone's feelings or injures them, because I could have the wrong interpretation of the situation. But I still need to stand up for my beliefs and convictions while respecting the fact that other people have their own.
Recognize and affirm your beliefs. Become aware of what is happening around you. And if anything seems to contradict your convictions, stand up for what you believe in.
Today's Challenge: Take some time to think about your current beliefs today.
Questions to consider:
Do you regularly examine your own beliefs on certain issues? Do you cling to them, or allow them to grow and evolve as you do?
Do you live by your convictions?
What is the danger in comparing your convictions and beliefs with those of other people?
For further thought:
"Good men don't become legends," he said quietly. "Good men don't need to become legends." She opened her eyes, looking up at him. "They just do what's right anyway."
