JULY, here we are.
Time for the EOTM (Encouragement Of The
Month)
BOLDNESS
BOLDNESS
is passed on from generation to generation.
The
BOLDNESS of the Disciples, is what shaped Christianity.
The
BOLDNESS of our forefathers, is what shaped America.
But,
it's what our generation does with it, that will shape the future.
Once
upon a time, there lived a woman, who lived in an out of way home in
Central America.
This
home was made out of logs, mud, and straw. The kitchen and the front
porch where combined, and the whole house, was one room. She was
beautiful. Her black hair was tied up, and she wore a black dress.
Her skin was coffee brown, and her when she spoke, it was as if she
were an angel.
Now,
this woman, was a Christian. But her husband was not. He was an
abusive evil man!
There
was a missions team who came to her and brought her children toys and
food, while her husband was away. A young missionary, who didn't know
that she was a Christian, started to witness to her, through the
translation of her friend.
The
woman explained her situation, to them, and told the missionary
something that shocked her immensely. The woman who's house, was a
wreck, and who's spouse beats her, said she wouldn't leave her
husband. She said that she wanted to win him to Christ, and she was
determined.
The
determination of that woman, Imbedded itself into that young
missionary's heart. And she said to herself, “That's BOLDNESS!”
What
would you have done in her situation? I don't know about you, but I
would've left my husband in a flash. And I'm not proud of that.
Every
time I think of that woman, I think of BOLDNESS.
I
think of Determination. Real Determination!
I
find the lack of determination in America sad.
Schools,
Restaurants, Work. We've lost our Liberty. We've lost our BOLDNESS.
The
Declaration Of Independence.
BOLDNESS
doesn't have to be spoken, it can be written.
The
way our country was established, and discovered, was by Liberty.
Liberty.
No Liberty comes without BOLDNESS.
One
must be BOLD, to ask for freedom, and to fight for it.
In
The Middle of Difficulty, lies Opportunity.
